D'Addario was the first to use Phosphor Bronze in acoustic guitar strings back in 1974. Today it's played all over the world and widely considered the standard in acoustic strings, thanks to its beautiful sonic balance and tonal warmth. The EJ24 is built on that original formula — phosphor bronze wrap wire precision wound over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core, for tonal versatility that suits all acoustic styles and musical genres.

This 13-56 True Medium set is specifically gauged for alternate tunings. The 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings are a smaller diameter than D'Addario's traditional Medium set, which delivers a more balanced sound and tension across the neck — making it optimal for DADGAD and other open tunings where a standard medium set can feel uneven.

Uncoated and round wound for a natural feel and tone, these strings are made in the USA, drawn to exacting specifications at D'Addario's New York production facility. Each set comes in a recyclable VCI bag with a code you can register to earn Players Circle points.

Balanced Feel In DADGAD

The smaller diameter 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings even out the tension compared to a traditional Medium set. Drop into DADGAD or other open tunings and the neck still feels consistent under your hand.

Warmth For Any Genre

Phosphor bronze wrap wire gives you the tried-and-true D'Addario acoustic voice — beautifully balanced with real warmth. It suits fingerstyle, flatpicking, strumming, and everything in between.

The Acoustic Standard

D'Addario pioneered Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings in the 1970s, and it's since become the worldwide benchmark. You're playing the formula that defined the category.

Phosphor Bronze Wrap Wire

Precision wound phosphor bronze delivers the balance and tonal warmth that made this alloy the acoustic standard.

Hexagonal Steel Core

A high-carbon steel core anchors the winding for consistent tuning stability and response.

13-56 True Medium Gauge

A medium-weight set with rethought gauging rather than a straight step up from lights.

Lighter Mid Strings

The 3rd, 4th, and 5th strings use a smaller diameter than D'Addario's traditional Medium set for more balanced sound and tension.

Optimal For DADGAD

The tension profile is specifically suited to DADGAD and other alternate tunings.

Round Wound Construction

Traditional round winding for familiar feel and bright articulation under the pick or fingers.
