A vintage tone classic, born from acoustic tradition
The EJ11 embodies the spirit of the first modern acoustic strings: 80/20 bronze is the historic alloy adopted as early as the 1930s by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico. This "old school" character appeals to fans of traditional and vintage tones, with a clear attack, sharp definition, and immediate brightness especially appreciated for recording.
Brightness, projection, and intonation: the versatile Light gauge
With a Light 12-53 gauge, this set is a safe choice for most folk guitars: enough tension to support pick playing and make chords stand out, while remaining comfortable for fingerstyle and long sessions. The result: an extra-bright sound, deep low-end spectrum, and projection that helps the guitar naturally "cut through," whether playing solo, accompanying, or in a band setting.

Good value for money, for those who like brilliant sounds, much better than Martin in the same price range, and cheaper than Ernie Ball.
For now I am satisfied with them hoping that they last more than 2 weeks (isn't that Martin).Automatically translated
