OVERVIEW

Extended life and crystal clarity.

The D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze Light acoustic guitar strings are precision wound with phosphor bronze wrap wire over a high-carbon steel core for a balanced tone with shimmering highs and a focused low end. The most popular gauge, Light 12-53, provides comfortable playability while producing enough volume and projection for performance situations. The EJ16 strings utilize D'Addario's 300-years of string-making expertise to deliver corrosion-resistant, long-lasting strings with clear intonation.

Phosphor Bronze Construction Creates a Warm Envelope of Sound


The phosphor bronze alloy wrap wire gives the EJ16 strings a warm yet articulate tone with lush overtones. Phosphor bronze produces a wider range of overtones than 80/20 bronze, resulting in a rich, complex tone. The steel hexagonal core provides stability and reliable intonation for in-tune chords and melodies. Combined, the phosphor bronze wrap and steel core create an expansive tone with shimmering highs and focused lows.

Light Gage Offers Playability and Volume


The Light 12-53 gauge provides a comfortable playing experience while producing enough volume and projection for live performance settings. The lighter gauges are easier to fret and bend, enabling intricate techniques. Despite the lighter feel, the EJ16 Light strings drive your acoustic guitars tonewoods to create a bold voice. The Light gauge is a versatile all-purpose string for players of many styles.

Built to Last


As with all D'Addario strings, the EJ16 Phosphor Bronze Light acoustic guitar strings are constructed to provide long-lasting performance. The steel core and phosphor bronze wrap are resistant to corrosion, even with heavy play. The precisely wound strings also maintain tune stability and intonation over their lifespan. The environmentally friendly packaging ensures strings remain fresh until opened.

Centuries of Innovation


D'Addario has been designing and manufacturing premium instrument strings since 1680. D'Addario pioneered the modern winding machine, introduced hexagonal core wires for strings, and created the colored ball end coding system. Today, D'Addario is a global leader in string technology with over half a million strings produced daily in their New York facility. The D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze Light acoustic guitar strings continue this legacy of innovation.
