D’Addario EJ12-3D 80/12 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, 13-56, 3 Sets, Medium
D’Addario’s heaviest 80/20 Bronze gauge, EJ12s offer heavier tension resulting in a bolder, more resonant acoustic tone with higher resistance for heavy strumming and flat-picking. 80/20 Bronze, commonly referred to as brass, is the original acoustic string alloy selected by John D’Addario Sr. and John D’Angelico in the 1930s. 80/20 Bronze strings are popular for recording due to their crisp, deep and projecting tone and appeal to many traditionalists and vintage enthusiasts for their historical significance. All D’Addario acoustic strings are wound on a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core, resulting in long lasting, bright sounding tone with excellent intonation.

I would go a year and a half during the times I was really busy in life. But these past years, it’s been on a daily…
Best sounding guitar strings I’ve heard.. I’ve been using D’addario phosphor bronze strings for years, they are nice but these sound way better. These strings give that brilliant and sparkly tone heard on many recordings of famous acoustic instrumental players like Don Ross, Hedges, etc..I always wondered how they got that bright and full tone while playing fingerstyle, I always thought it was due to higher quality woods on their guitars or something but now I am certain that it has a lot to do with using real bronze…
Great Tone I really like these strings, and I use them often. I play acoustic at a vineyard at least once a month. I can best describe the sound as bright, clean, and fresh. The lows and the highs are well pronounced. They are well rounded for many styles of playing, whether it be heavy strumming or finger-picking. I’d highly recommend these, especially if you are unsure as to which string to get. Start with these and then determine whether they are too bright for your taste, then maybe consider phosphor…
