The vintage sound of 80/20 Bronze, with the power of a medium-heavy gauge
The EJ12 are the heaviest gauge offered by D'Addario in 80/20 Bronze: an obvious choice if you are looking for more volume, resonance, and sustain, especially for energetic accompaniment or pick playing. This historic alloy, chosen since the 1930s by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico, remains favored for recording thanks to its precision, depth, and very "acoustic" traditional character. Like all D'Addario acoustic strings, they are wound on a high-carbon steel hex core, for lasting brightness and reliable intonation, even when you push the guitar hard.
