D’Addario EJ17 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Medium, 13-56
EJ17s offer heavier tension resulting in a bolder, more resonant acoustic tone with higher resistance for heavy strumming and flat-picking.
Phosphor Bronze was introduced to string making by D’Addario in 1974 and has become synonymous with warm, bright, and well balanced acoustic tone. D’Addario Phosphor Bronze strings are precision wound with corrosion resistant phosphor bronze onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result is long lasting, bright sounding tone with excellent intonation.

I emailed D’Addario and they told me they came back as counterfeit. So I returned that 3 pack and Amazon sent me another 3 pack, and these ones are fakes as well. I didn’t even…
Good Vibrations! When I’m not using D’Addario EXP17 coated, I’m using these. While I have the floor here’s my take on coated vs. non-coated: With coated strings you don’t have to change strings as often, and that saves wear and tear on the bridgeplate. If you play or gig regularly, that’s important. As far as the cost, at least for me anyway, it’s a draw. Coated lasts twice as long but cost twice as much, so I don’t save any money by going with non-coated. It boils down to just how much money I want to spend at…
