D’Addario EJ19 Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass 12-56

Description

The EJ19 Bluegrass set steps up to a heavier tension than D’Addario’s standard light gauges, giving flat-pickers and heavy strummers the extra resistance and bold, resonant push they need to cut through a jam. It’s a gauge favored by players who dig in hard and want the string to push back.

D’Addario pioneered phosphor bronze winding back in 1974, and it’s remained the go-to alloy for acoustic guitarists chasing a warm, bright, well-balanced voice. Each wound string is precision-wrapped with corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze around a hexagonally drawn, high-carbon steel core, a combination that locks in accurate intonation and keeps the tone lively and articulate over long playing sessions.

• Heavier-tension Bluegrass gauge built for flat-picking, aggressive strumming, and projection
• Warm, bright, balanced phosphor bronze tone with excellent intonation
• Hexagonal high-carbon steel core for tuning stability and durability
• Packaged to resist corrosion so strings stay fresh until you open them
• Made in the U.S.A.
