D'Addario EJ10 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings Extra Light 10-47
D'Addario 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings — Extra Light 10-47
The Original Bronze — Bright and Projecting
D'Addario 80/20 Bronze in Extra Light 10-47 is the string that started it all - the original acoustic bronze alloy co-created by John D'Addario Sr. and John D'Angelico back in the 1930s. It is D'Addario's brightest acoustic set, giving your guitar an unmistakable shine, crisp attack, deep bass, and the kind of projection that has made 80/20 a favorite for recording and a staple for traditionalists and vintage players.
Bright, Crisp, and Loud
The 80% copper / 20% zinc bronze wrap delivers a brilliant top end and strong projection - noticeably brighter and more cutting than warmer phosphor bronze. Fresh out of the pack these ring with shimmer and clarity, ideal for players who want their acoustic to sparkle in a room or on a track.
Construction
- Wrap: 80/20 bronze (80% copper, 20% zinc) for a bright, projecting tone.
- Core: Hex-shaped high-carbon steel - a D'Addario innovation the wrap wire grips for dimensional stability and precise intonation.
- Winding: Digitally controlled winding machines for guaranteed accuracy and consistency, set after set.
- Finish: Round wound, uncoated.
Consistency You Can Count On
D'Addario draws its own core wire and winds every string on machines it engineers in-house, so the set you buy today plays and sounds like the last one. Sealed in a recyclable, corrosion-inhibiting VCI bag so it is fresh out of the package.
