D'Addario EJ13 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Custom Light, 11-52

The D'Addario EJ13 is an 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar string set in Custom Light hybrid gauge — combining lighter top strings for easy bending and reduced tension on the high strings, with standard light gauge bottom strings for full depth and projection on the low end. 80/20 Bronze is the original acoustic string alloy, introduced by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico in the 1930s, prized for its crisp, bright, projecting tone and favoured by recording engineers, traditionalists, and vintage enthusiasts. Made in the USA.

80/20 Bronze — The Original Acoustic Alloy

80/20 bronze (80% copper, 20% zinc) is the original acoustic guitar string alloy — introduced by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico in the 1930s and still the choice of players who want the brightest, most sparkling acoustic tone available. 80/20 bronze produces a crisp, bold, projecting tone with a bright top end that cuts through clearly in a mix — making it a popular choice for recording, where its clarity and definition translate well to microphone and direct recording. Favoured by traditionalists and vintage enthusiasts for its historical significance and the classic acoustic sound it produces. Note that 80/20 bronze tends to lose its brightness faster than phosphor bronze as the alloy oxidises — players who want longer string life should consider the phosphor bronze EJ26 in the same Custom Light gauge.

Custom Light Hybrid Gauge — Playability & Balance

The Custom Light gauge is a D'Addario original hybrid — a comfortable compromise for players who want the full, resonant projection of light gauge wound strings on the bottom end, but prefer the reduced tension and easier bending of a lighter gauge on the plain steel top strings. An ideal choice for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone who plays both rhythm and lead on acoustic guitar.

Corrosion-Resistant Packaging

Each set comes in D'Addario's environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging — keeping strings fresh until the moment you open them.
