D'Addario EJ26 Phosphor Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings Standard

The D'Addario EJ26 Phosphor Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings are made with a genuine phosphor bronze alloy which retains flexibility and produces a brilliant, warm tone for many hours of playing. Computer controlled wrapping around a hex core ensures consistency and extends the life of these strings. As the world's largest manufacturer of instrument strings, D'Addario is dedicated to providing guitarists of all playing styles with the perfect string set for their needs. The EJ26 strings offer a warm, resonant tone suited for most acoustic guitars and playing situations.

Precision-Wound for Optimal Tone and Playability

The EJ26 strings are precision-wound using phosphor bronze wrap wire to produce a full, bright tone with rich overtones. The wrap wire is securely wrapped around a hexagonal steel core, which provides stability and improves intonation. This construction results in strings that are balanced, with a tension that makes bending and fretting comfortable. The EJ26 set has gauges of .011-.015-.022-.032-.042-.052, producing a tone and playability suited for most acoustic guitars and playing styles.

Built to Last

In addition to producing optimal tone, the EJ26 strings are designed with durability in mind. The phosphor bronze alloy is corrosion-resistant, allowing the strings to maintain tone and playability over repeated use and exposure to moisture from the hands and environment. The hex core and precision winding also provide structural stability to extend the life of the strings. For guitarists who log many hours of playing time, the durability of D'Addario strings means fewer string changes and more time playing.

Easy Installation and Identification

D'Addario strings come with color-coded ball ends that make installation and identification quick and convenient. The ball ends securely anchor the string at the bridge of the guitar, with the color coding allowing for fast identification of string gauges. The corrosion-resistant packaging also ensures strings are fresh when opened, with an airtight foil barrier protecting the strings from environmental damage during storage and transport.
