D'Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze Light (.012-;.053) Acoustic Guitar String Set

Light Acoustic Guitar String Set

The D’Addario EJ16 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar String Set combines warm, balanced tone with the comfortable response of a popular light gauge. Designed for full-size, six-string steel-string acoustic guitar, this .012–.053 set provides a versatile balance of volume, projection, and playability for strumming, flatpicking, fingerstyle playing, and a wide range of musical styles.

The wound strings are precision wrapped with phosphor bronze wire over hexagonal high-carbon steel cores, supporting dimensional stability, accurate intonation, and consistent performance. Plain steel treble strings provide clear articulation, while the phosphor bronze bass strings contribute tonal warmth and a well-defined acoustic voice. The uncoated, round-wound construction preserves a direct feel and natural string response. Ball ends allow straightforward installation on compatible acoustic guitar bridges. Made at D’Addario’s New York production facility, the EJ16 set is a dependable choice for guitarists seeking an adaptable light-gauge string set with balanced tone and comfortable tension.
