Warm Up Your Acoustic’s Sound

Choose D’Addario Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings and enjoy your instrument like never before! These strings utilize phosphor bronze wrap wires, contributing a warm and vibrant tone that suits most playing applications. Introduced to the D’Addario line in 1974, Phosphor Bronze strings have since become a mainstay among hobbyists and professionals alike. Phosphor bronze strings are known for their impressive durability — a trait especially important for players who put in a lot of hours on the fretboard. If you’re looking for a set of warm acoustic guitar strings, then grab a set of D’Addario Phosphor Bronze acoustic guitar strings.

Which string gauge is right for me?

  • Extra Light: Super easy to play. Easy to bend. Great for beginners.
  • Custom Light: Easy on the fingers. Slightly more volume and projection.
  • Light: Best seller. Nice balance of playability and tone
  • Light Top/Medium Bottom: Balance of volume and comfortable playability.
  • Medium: Harder to play and bend. Powerful volume and bold tone.

The right tone for everyone

D’Addario believes that every acoustic guitar player should have a set of strings that match their sonic needs. That’s why they build strings with a range of construction methods and materials. Whether you go with the brightest 80/20 Bronze strings, the mellowest Silk & Steels, or anywhere in between, D’Addario has the perfect sound for everyone. Want to learn more?

D’Addario: innovative strings since 1680

When you go with D’Addario, you receive far more than a great set of strings. You’re benefiting from three centuries of string-making experience. The D’Addario family tradition began in 1680 in the tiny town of Salle, Italy, where they made assorted instrument strings for over 200 years before relocating to New York in 1905. Since then, the D’Addario family has become a leader in string innovation. They designed the modern winding machine, introduced ultra-reliable hexagonal core wires, and pioneered the colored-coded ball end movement. More than 300 years since the family started making strings, D’Addario continues to set a global standard for quality and reliability. And every day, more than 500,000 strings emerge from their USA-based workshops.

D’Addario Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings Features:

  • Precision-wound acoustic guitar string for all situations
  • Phosphor bronze wrap wire contributes a warm, enveloping tone
  • Hexagonal steel core wire provides extra stability, greater reliability, and improved intonation

Great way to buy

This is a great way for me to buy strings. I do a lot of guitar repair work so it is economical for me. I've always trusted D'Addario strings they sound great.

Tried all of them - this is the best

Consistency. Tone. I've tried numerous manufacturers over the past 25 years playing professionally and these just work. They stay in tune. They don't break. They do their job so I can do mine. Faithfully and consistently. And the tone is always there. No muss. No fuss. Well done D'Addario! And, of course, Sweetwater is the best!

Great product and a great price.
Rated 5/5

Why buy this product in any other form?

So, as guitar players we always need this and that but one of the things we need most often are strings. Either we break a string and have to replace it or we just get tired of all the ruts, divots and intonation from the strings that have been on our guitar for too long.

For me, that's about one week of heavy playing on my Acoustics. I want my Acoustics to sound lively and responsive. I detest the sound of dull strings which by the way are harder to get in tune.

When I am playing steady which I always am I change out my strings at about 40 hours or maybe even 20 hours of usage and playing all the time, every night, that could be upwards to at the least two sets a week and sometimes more.

NP! Right? Buy them online and get packs as low as $4-6 dollars. Really! That's a great deal but let me ask you.... Why would you do this?

When you're in a situation like I am in and you are always needing to restring your guitars... Why buy them like this when you can buy the cool, groove y 25 pack!

What a steal of a deal!!! 25 packs break down to only $3.79 a pack! You're saving money and better yet! When you need them there they are! Waiting to be strung on your favorite guitar!

This is simply the only way to go unless you like spending money and if this is the case, contact me, I'll sell you a sett for $4.90 out of my 25 pack!

Hey! Gotta make a living somehow playing of the ignorance of other... ;-)
