Description
Some sets are made for finesse, EJ17s are made for muscle. This medium-gauge 13-56 set from D’Addario brings extra tension to the table, giving you a bigger, more resonant voice under heavy strumming and aggressive flat-picking. If your dead strings have been feeling thin and your dynamics have flattened out, this is the swap that brings the punch back.
D’Addario pioneered phosphor bronze windings back in 1974, and this alloy is still the benchmark for warm, bright, well-balanced acoustic tone. Each string is precision-wound with corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze over a hexagonally drawn, high-carbon steel core, so you get tuning stability and clean intonation string after string, restring after restring.
- Heavier tension for a bolder, more projecting, resonant tone
- The go-to choice for hard strumming and flat-picking styles
- Warm, bright, well-balanced acoustic character
- Corrosion-resistant, eco-friendly packaging keeps strings fresh until you break the seal
- Made in the U.S.A.
- Gauges: .013, .017 plain steel; .026, .035, .045, .056 phosphor bronze wound
Once these are on your acoustic, you’ll hear the difference immediately, more low-end push, clearer separation between notes, and that fresh-string sparkle that fades fast on old sets. Keep a spare set in your case; you’ll want to swap in before your next big strumming session, not after.
