If you've ever wanted the warmth and sustain of phosphor bronze acoustic strings without all the squeaky finger noise, the D'Addario EFT17 Flat Tops are worth a closer look. These are half-round strings — wound with phosphor bronze wrap wire over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core, then precision ground and polished down to a semi-flat surface. You get a smooth, quiet playing feel while keeping most of the tone that makes phosphor bronze so popular in the first place.
The medium gauge (13-56) sits at the heavier end of the standard acoustic range, so you'll get more volume and projection with a bit more tension underhand. That makes these a natural fit for flatpickers, strummers, and anyone who plays hard. The reduced finger noise also makes them particularly well-suited for studio recording or slide work, where string noise on mic tends to be more noticeable. Individual gauges are: Plain Steel .013, .017 — Phosphor Bronze Wound .026, .035, .045, .056. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility.
