D’Addario EJ41 12-String Phosphor Bronze Extra Light Acoustic Guitar Strings

The D’Addario EJ41 12-String Phosphor Bronze Extra Light Acoustic Guitar Strings deliver a robust 12-string tone in an ultra-light gauge. Since 1974, D’Addario has pioneered phosphor bronze acoustic strings, and these 12-string strings continue that legacy of tone and innovation. The phosphor bronze wrap wire provides a warm, balanced tone, while the high-carbon steel hexagonal core offers stability and improved intonation. The EJ41 set is D’Addario’s lightest 12-string gauge, providing comfortable playability while still producing adequate volume and projection for most playing situations.

Ultra-Light Gage Facilitates Easy Playability

With a gauge range of just .009 to .045, the EJ41 set allows for comfortable fretting and picking on acoustic 12-string guitars. The light gauge makes complex chord shapes and fast picking passages more accessible for players of all skill levels. Despite the slinky feel, these strings still produce a robust 12-string tone with clear, ringing notes.

Phosphor Bronze Wrap Wire Delivers a Warm, Nuanced Tone

D’Addario’s legendary phosphor bronze alloy wrap wire provides a warm, complex tone with rich overtones. Phosphor bronze produces a wider range of overtones than traditional bronze alloys, resulting in a more enveloping tone. The phosphor bronze wrap is also highly corrosion resistant, allowing the strings to stay fresh and maintain their tone longer.

Precision-Wound on Hexagonal Core Wire

The EJ41 strings are precision-wound onto a high-carbon steel core wire with a hexagonal shape. The hexagonal core provides more contact points with the wrap wire, resulting in greater stability under tension and improved intonation up and down the fretboard. The steel core also contributes to the brightness and clarity.

Color-Coded Ball Ends and Corrosion-Resistant Packaging

For quick and easy string changes, the EJ41 set features color-coded ball ends to indicate each string gauge. The strings also come packaged in D’Addario’s corrosion-resistant packaging to ensure freshness. As the world’s largest string manufacturer, D’Addario is committed to quality, innovation and tone.
