D'Add EJ17, 13-56

The D'Addario EJ17 Phosphor Bronze strings are a medium 13-56 gauge set designed for maximum volume, heavy tension, and a bold, driving acoustic tone. As the preferred choice for bluegrass and flatpicking styles, these strings provide the necessary mass to drive the soundboard of larger instruments like dreadnoughts, resulting in superior projection and a powerful low-end response. The phosphor bronze alloy delivers a warm, rich, and complex harmonic profile that is both long-lasting and resistant to corrosion, while the high-carbon steel hex core ensures exceptional tuning stability. Whether you're playing in a loud acoustic ensemble or looking for a deeper, more resonant sound for solo work, the EJ17s offer the professional-grade durability and punchy sustain required for aggressive, high-energy playing.
