The D'Addario EJ12 is a medium-gauge acoustic guitar string set wound in 80/20 bronze — the original acoustic string alloy, developed by John D'Addario Sr. and guitar maker John D'Angelico in the 1930s. These are D'Addario's heaviest gauge in the 80/20 bronze lineup, making them a go-to for players who want more volume, projection, and resistance under their pick or strumming hand.
Each string in the set is precision wound over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core. The hex core locks the wrap wire in place for consistent intonation and solid tuning stability. The 80/20 bronze wrap (80% copper, 20% zinc) produces a characteristically bright, crisp tone with strong bass projection — qualities that have made this alloy a favorite for recording and among players who prefer a traditional acoustic sound. The strings are uncoated, which keeps the feel natural and the tone open. They come in D'Addario's VCI (vapor corrosion inhibitor) packaging, which protects against corrosion before you even open the bag.
