Description
The EJ16 set stands as D’Addario’s flagship acoustic string, chosen by players who want a dependable blend of clarity, punch, and comfort under the fingers. It’s built on the Phosphor Bronze formula D’Addario pioneered back in 1974, a wrap alloy that has since become the benchmark for warm, articulate acoustic tone with plenty of top-end sparkle.
Each string starts with a hexagonally shaped, high-carbon steel core that’s precisely drawn before the corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze wire is wound on. That combination gives EJ16 its signature sound: balanced across the frequency spectrum, with sustained brightness and dependable intonation that holds up gig after gig.
Strings ship in packaging engineered to fight off corrosion, so what you pull out of the pack is as fresh as the day it was made. Every set is manufactured in the U.S.A., keeping D’Addario’s quality control tight from raw material to finished string.
