D Addario EJ13 80/20 Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings

D Addario EJ13 80/20 Bronze Custom Light Acoustic Guitar Strings

Referred to as Custom Light, EJ13 strings are a D'Addario original hybrid gauge and a comfortable compromise for players who want the depth and projection of light gauge bottom strings, but slightly less tension on the high strings for easy bending. 80/20 Bronze, commonly referred to as brass, is the original acoustic string alloy selected by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico in the 1930s. 80/20 Bronze strings are popular for recording due to their crisp, deep and projecting tone and appeal to many traditionalists and vintage enthusiasts for their historical significance. All D'Addario acoustic strings are wound on a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core, resulting in long lasting, bright sounding tone with excellent intonation. 

Features:

• An ideal string for recording in the studio
• 80/20 bronze wrap wire creates a super-bright tone
• Hexagonal steel core wire provides extra stability, greater reliability, and improved intonation
• Precision winding process enables unmatched consistency
• Color-coded ball ends help you quickly identify specific strings
• Ships in Modified Atmosphere Packaging to prevent corrosion

80/20 Bronze are our brightest acoustic strings, made to give your guitar an unparalleled shine. These bold sounding strings were developed by John D'Addario Sr. and guitar maker John D'Angelico in the 1930s, and have been beloved for their sparkling, trebly tone ever since. Made with a high carbon steel core and 80/20 Bronze wrap wire, 80/20 acoustic strings offer remarkable depth, along with rich, bright harmonics, and powerful projection. 11-52 Custom Light gauge strings have slightly more volume and projection than Extra Light, while still being easy to play.
