The D'Addario EJ11 is a classic choice for acoustic players seeking a bright, crisp, and bold acoustic voice. Developed in the 1930s as the original acoustic string alloy, 80/20 Bronze (frequently referred to as brass) remains a favorite for its unmatched brilliance, deep projection, and historical significance. These light-gauge strings (12-53) offer the perfect balance of volume, easy playability, and tonal response, making them excellent for both flat-picking and standard strumming. Precision-wound with 80/20 bronze wrap wire over a high-carbon steel hex-core, the EJ11 set provides superior intonation and long-lasting clarity. Made in the USA to the highest quality standards.
