DAddario EJ16 .012.053 PH/BR LGT Guitar Strings

Experience the legendary sound that has defined acoustic guitar excellence for nearly five decades with D'Addario's EJ16 Phosphor Bronze light string set. These 12-53 gauge strings deliver the perfect balance of warmth, brightness and tonal clarity that has made them the industry standard since 1974. The phosphor bronze winding over a high-carbon steel hex core creates exceptional intonation whilst providing the corrosion resistance needed for long-lasting performance.

Designed with comfort in mind, these light-gauge strings are particularly suited to smaller guitars, developing players and anyone seeking extended playing sessions without finger fatigue. The reduced tension makes chord changes smoother and bending easier, whilst still maintaining the volume and projection needed for both strumming and fingerpicking styles.

Each set features plain steel .012 and .016 strings paired with phosphor bronze-wound .024, .032, .042 and .053 strings, all packaged in D'Addario's environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging to ensure freshness. This combination delivers the warm, bright and well-balanced acoustic tone that has made the EJ16 set the go-to choice for guitarists worldwide.
