D'Addario EJ13 80/20 Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings – 11–52

A favourite among players who want a little more from their strings without sacrificing comfort.

Key Features

• 80/20 Bronze Winding: The classic 80% copper, 20% zinc alloy delivers a bright, clear, and articulate tone with excellent note definition — well-suited for acoustic guitars where presence and clarity matter.
• Custom Light Gauge (11–52): A versatile middle-ground gauge — lighter than standard light strings for easier fretting and bending, yet with enough tension and body for strong projection and dynamic range.
• Consistent Intonation: Precision wound to D'Addario's exacting tolerances for accurate tuning and reliable intonation across the full fretboard.
• NY Steel Plain Strings: High-carbon steel plain strings (1st and 2nd) provide enhanced strength, tuning stability, and a bright, clear treble response.
• Corrosion-Resistant Packaging: Sealed in D'Addario's signature packaging to preserve string freshness and extend shelf life before use.
