D'Addario EJ49 Pro-Arté Black Nylon Classical Guitar Strings, Normal Tension

The D'Addario EJ49 is D'Addario's best-selling Pro-Arté classical guitar string set with black nylon trebles — a normal tension set preferred for its balance of rich tone, comfortable feel, and dynamic projection. The black nylon treble alternative to the clear nylon EJ45, the EJ49 delivers the same warm, projecting Pro-Arté quality with the darker, mellower tone characteristic of black nylon strings. All treble strings are laser-sorted for precise diameter and tension consistency, while silver-plated copper basses wound on a multi-filament nylon core deliver a warm, projecting tone with excellent consistency. Made in the USA.

Black Nylon Trebles — Darker, Warmer Tone

The key difference between the EJ49 and the clear nylon EJ45 is the treble string material. Black nylon produces a darker, warmer, slightly mellower tone compared to clear nylon — with a softer attack and a more rounded, vintage character. Preferred by players who find clear nylon trebles too bright or who want a warmer, more traditional classical tone. The choice between black and clear nylon trebles is largely a matter of personal preference and playing style — both deliver Pro-Arté's precision and consistency.

Normal Tension — Balance of Volume & Comfortable Resistance

Normal tension is the most popular tension choice for classical guitar — offering the ideal balance between comfortable playability and full, resonant tone. Normal tension strings are easier on the fingers than hard tension strings, making them the preferred choice for most classical guitarists, students, and players who perform for extended periods. The EJ49's normal tension delivers a rich, full-ranged tone with dynamic projection that responds naturally to both soft and forceful playing.

Laser-Sorted Black Nylon Trebles

All Pro-Arté treble strings are computer-controlled by a sophisticated laser machine that performs diameter and tension measurements on every string — ensuring true-sounding, precisely intonated trebles in every set. The laser sorting process eliminates the diameter inconsistencies that cause intonation problems and uneven tone across the treble strings.

Silver-Plated Copper Basses

Pro-Arté bass strings are wound with silver-plated copper wrap wire over a multi-filament nylon core — producing a consistent, warm, yet projecting bass tone that complements the black nylon trebles.
