A Sound Standard to Enhance the Richness of a 12-String
The D'Addario EJ38 set is a reliable choice if you're looking for the typical phosphor bronze tonal signature: clear attack, rich harmonics, and a natural balance between bass, mids, and treble. On a 12-string acoustic guitar, this character helps maintain precision in open chords while providing the width and brightness that fill the space, both in the studio and on stage.
A Historic Alloy Designed for Consistency and Longevity
Introduced in 1974 by D'Addario, phosphor bronze has become a benchmark for guitarists seeking a sound that is both warm and bright. The EJ38 strings are finely wound with corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze over a high-carbon steel hex core to achieve excellent intonation and a bright tone that lasts. The eco-friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging also helps keep your strings "fresh" longer, right up to installation.
