The D'Addario EJ42 is a phosphor bronze round wound string set purpose-built for resophonic and dobro guitars. If you play one of these instruments, you know a standard acoustic string set doesn't quite cut it — the EJ42's medium gauge (.016–.056) is specifically configured to suit the resonator's setup and tonal character, with heavier bass strings for full low-end projection and lighter treble strings that let the instrument's voice come through clearly.
The wrap wire is corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze wound over a hexagonally shaped high-carbon steel core — a construction D'Addario pioneered in 1974 and has been refining ever since. The hex core grips the wrap wire tightly for consistent intonation and dimensional stability string to string. Color-coded ball ends make string identification quick during installation. The strings come in D'Addario's environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging, so you're always getting a fresh set.
