A Quieter Play Without Losing Acoustic Projection
The D'Addario EFT16 Flat Tops combine the versatile Light 12-53 gauge with an exclusive precision polishing process. The result: a smoother playing feel and more controlled attack, while maintaining the dynamic response and projection expected from Phosphor Bronze strings on acoustic or resonator guitars.
They are designed for guitarists who want to limit unwanted noise: the strings are first made with a round winding, then precisely filed to achieve a smooth, "semi-flat" outer surface. This finish significantly reduces finger noise, making them an excellent choice for recording, pick playing, and slide use.
