The D'Addario Standard for Resonator Guitar
The D'Addario EJ42 set is a benchmark for resonator guitarists seeking an immediate balance between warmth, brightness, and definition. Whether you play in open tuning, rhythm roots, or slide, these strings emphasize the attack and projection typical of a resonator guitar, while maintaining a pleasant and reassuring feel under the fingers.
Phosphor Bronze: An Iconic Sound Signature
D'Addario introduced phosphor bronze in string manufacturing in 1974. Since then, this alloy has become synonymous with a warm yet bright acoustic sound, offering a natural balance across the entire spectrum. On the EJ42 set, the corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze winding is paired with a high-carbon hex core steel : a combination that promotes excellent intonation, precise response, and good durability, even under heavy playing.
