About D'Addario EJ42

Let your music resonate with the unparalleled craftsmanship of D'Addario's EJ42 Phosphor Bronze Resophonic Guitar Strings. As the original innovators of using phosphor bronze in acoustic guitar strings since 1974, D'Addario has set the industry standard for superior acoustic sound. The EJ42 set, with its medium 16-56 gauge, is expertly optimized for resonator guitars, ensuring that each strum and pluck delivers a rich, full-bodied tone with a harmonious balance that has captivated musicians globally.

Crafted with a high-carbon steel core and enveloped in a phosphor bronze wrap wire, these strings boast a tonal versatility that caters to a wide array of acoustic styles and musical expressions. The phosphor bronze material is not only celebrated for its sonic beauty but also for its reliable durability and resistance to corrosion. This means that guitarists can enjoy a consistently bright and warm tone that maintains its clarity and excellent intonation over time.

D'Addario's commitment to precision is evident in every set of strings produced. Utilizing state-of-the-art, digitally-controlled string winding machines, each string is wound to perfection, achieving a production accuracy that ensures every musician receives the highest quality product. The EJ42 strings are a testament to D'Addario's dedication to innovation, with their hexagonally shaped, high-carbon steel core - a design pioneered by the brand. This hex core construction allows the wrap wire to securely grip the core, resulting in six sides of stability that enhance the string's durability and maintain precise intonation.

Whether you're a professional musician or an enthusiast, the EJ42 Phosphor Bronze Resophonic Guitar Strings offer a blend of durability, high-quality sound, and reliable performance that stands the test of time. Choose D'Addario's EJ42 set for an affordable, versatile string option that will elevate your resonator guitar's sound to its full, melodious potential.
