Description
The D’Addario EJ40 Folk set swaps the usual bronze bite for a softer, rounder voice built around silk interwindings and a steel core. Fingerstyle players especially will notice the difference the moment they touch the strings — the silk layer cushions the wound wire, giving fingertips a gentler ride while the tone leans warm and mellow rather than sharp and percussive.
- Hex-core construction for a tight, dependable wind and consistent tuning stability string to string
- Silk interwindings soften the feel under the fingers, ideal for players who spend hours fingerpicking
- Color-coded ball-ends make identifying each string at the bridge quick and foolproof
- Packaged to resist corrosion so tone stays fresh until you break the seal
- Manufactured entirely in the U.S.A. under D’Addario’s quality control
This set of six covers E, B, G, D, A, E with plain steel .011 and .014 on the treble side, moving into silk & steel wound .023, .028, .038, and .047 for the wound strings. The gauge progression and silk wrapping combine to lower string tension and tame overtones, which is exactly what makes this set a favorite for parlor guitars, fingerstyle arrangements, and anyone chasing a softer, more intimate acoustic voice rather than a loud, projecting strum.
