D'Addario EJ41 12-String Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings — Extra Light 9-45
The 12-string standard, in an easy-playing gauge.
The D'Addario EJ41 is a full 12-string phosphor bronze set in Extra Light 9-45 — the lightest, most forgiving 12-string gauge D'Addario offers. Twelve strings mean double the tension of a 6-string, so the Extra Light gauge keeps the neck comfortable and the octave courses easy to fret, while still ringing with the shimmering, chorused 12-string sound.
Warm, balanced phosphor bronze tone.
Phosphor bronze has been the acoustic standard since D'Addario introduced it in 1974 — warm, bright, and well balanced. On a 12-string it delivers that signature octave shimmer with clear projection and excellent intonation across all twelve strings.
Construction:
- Wrap: Phosphor bronze for warm, projecting, corrosion-resistant tone
- Core: Hexagonal high-carbon steel for tuning stability and precise intonation
- Winding: Digitally controlled winding for set-to-set consistency
- Finish: Round wound, uncoated
