The D'Addario EJ13 is a 6-string set of 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings in the Custom Light gauge (.011–.052). The "Custom Light" name refers to D'Addario's original hybrid gauging — lighter plain strings on top for comfortable bending, paired with the fuller gauges on the wound strings for solid low-end projection. It's a practical middle ground that's been popular with acoustic players for decades.
The wrap wire is 80/20 Bronze (also called brass), wound over a precision-drawn hexagonal high-carbon steel core. The hex core lets the wrap wire grip more securely, which contributes to tuning stability, consistent intonation, and durability. Strings come in D'Addario's corrosion-resistant VCI packaging to keep them fresh until you're ready to put them on. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility.
