The D'Addario EJ16 is D'Addario's best-selling acoustic guitar string set — and it's not hard to see why. Light gauge (.012–.053) phosphor bronze strings hit a sweet spot that works for most acoustic players: enough tension for good volume and projection, but not so stiff that your hands pay for it after a long session.
Phosphor bronze has been D'Addario's signature acoustic string material since 1974. The wrap wire goes over a hexagonally shaped high-carbon steel core, wound with precision machinery for consistent intonation string to string and set to set. The plain steel first and second strings (.012, .016) are complemented by phosphor bronze wound strings on the lower four (.024, .032, .042, .053). The result is a warm, well-balanced tone with good brightness on top — a combination that holds up across fingerpicking, strumming, and everything in between. Each set comes in D'Addario's corrosion-resistant environmental packaging, so they stay fresh until you're ready to use them.
