Description
Twelve-string guitars live or die by their strings, and nothing kills that natural chorus effect faster than a set that’s gone dark and dead. D’Addario’s EJ41 set is built specifically for 12-strings, using extra light gauges (.009-.045) that keep tension manageable across all those extra courses so heavy strumming stays effortless instead of exhausting.
Each string is wound with corrosion-resistant Phosphor Bronze (92% copper, 8% tin with phosphorous) over D’Addario’s signature hex-core steel wire. That six-sided core bites into the outer wrap for a locked-in grip, which means less slipping, more accurate intonation, and a set that holds its pitch instead of wandering out of tune mid-song. Round wound construction gives you that familiar, textured grip under the fingers.
The payoff is the sound this set is known for: bright attack up top, warm body underneath, and enough shimmer to make chords ring out with real depth. It’s the same formula that’s made EJ-series strings a go-to for players like Dave Matthews, Sheryl Crow, and Keith Urban.
