Description
Resonators need strings that can punch through a metal cone without losing warmth, and that’s exactly what the EJ42 set delivers. D’Addario winds corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze around a hex-shaped, high-carbon steel core, so each string locks in tight and holds pitch instead of slipping or going dead after a few sessions. If you’ve ever felt a resophonic set turn dull and lifeless within days, this is the fix — bright attack up front, a well-balanced low end, and tone that lingers longer before it fades.
- Full 6-string set for resophonic/dobro guitars
- Phosphor bronze wrap wire (92% copper, 8% tin with phosphorous) over a hex-core steel base
- Round wound construction for classic feel under the fingers
- Color-coded ball-ends for fast identification and less packaging waste
- Made in the USA on D’Addario’s own precision winding equipment
- Gauges: .016, .018 plain steel / .028, .035, .045, .056 phosphor bronze wound
D’Addario built this construction as their original ‘extended life’ string back in 1974, and the formula still holds up — consistent wire inspection and computer-controlled winding mean every set plays the same as the last. Swap these in before your next gig or practice and hear the difference a fresh, properly matched set makes on a resonator.
