Product details

Description

Experience deep resonance and bold projection with the D'Addario EJ18 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings in a heavy 14-59 gauge set. Designed for players who demand maximum tension and volume, these strings feature precision-wound phosphor bronze wrap wire over a high-carbon steel hexagonal core.

This construction delivers a rich, warm low-end response paired with bright, clear trebles, creating a wonderfully balanced acoustic tone that cuts cleanly through any mix. Introduced as an industry standard since 1974, these uncoated strings are exceptionally reliable for heavy strumming, flat-picking, and alternative down-tunings without unwanted string buzz.

Environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant factory packaging ensures that every set arrives completely fresh and ready to perform. Crafted in the USA, this heavy gauge string set provides the durability, accurate intonation, and professional playability required for serious acoustic guitarists.

How to use

  1. Remove your old acoustic guitar strings one at a time or all at once, clean the fretboard, and wind the new D'Addario EJ18 strings onto the tuning posts.
  2. Tune up to standard or desired drop-tuning, stretch the strings gently to settle tuning stability, and trim excess wire.
