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?

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

Can't go wrong

In my 28 years of playing I've tried many different brands of strings. Daddario are my go to for acoustic guitar. I've never had a bad string.
Rated 5/5

D'Addario EJ 26 Ph Br

I like these. They're a great value, sound good and I always stay over-stocked on the 3 packs. One set lasts me about 2 months in fall/winter and about 2 to 3 weeks (spring/summer) high humidity and heavy playing per guitar. I've never had one break but I change them pretty often at the first sign of "kinks" over the 5/7/9/12 frets or rust spots but I have wet hands and hold chords and notes pretty aggressive-like. Never tried Elixirs and i sparingly use Martin lifespans but for the price these are my everyday go to strings.
Rated 4.5/5

Good Sound For Inexpensive Strings

Tried out several brands of strings on my import Martin Acoustic, none were sounding exactly inspiring. I put a set of the EJ26 .011-.052 custom light gauge's on and the guitar came to life, sounds like it's supposed to. The D'Addario 3-pack is a really good deal from Sweetwater;saved me some $$ plus I have extra strings.
Rated 4.5/5

D-Addario Strings Make the Gig

I play a Taylor 110 Acoustic with a Fishman Pick Humbucking pickup and Preamp every Friday for 3 45 minute sets at a local outdoor venue that can get pretty hot outside even in the shade so I know I am putting my guitar to work. The EJ26-3D Phospher Bronze strings I used have not let me down- not even one broken string! I do not have to change them for two gigs so a total of 6 sets plus rehearsal/jams in between. I tend to play hard as I am the only instrument in a trio with a vocalist and drummer. I playing bass lines, lead lines and chords mostly with a pick doing a variety of Jazz, Blues, Pop, Rock and Funk. I'm giving a big thumbs up on these!
Music background: Keys, Bass & Guitar since I was 12 and that is a long time ago!
