D'Addario Silk & Steel 12-String Acoustic Guitar Strings - Light 11-47
D'Addario EJ35 Silk & Steel 12-String Acoustic Guitar Strings — Light 11-47
Silk & Steel Warmth, in 12-String
The D'Addario EJ35 brings the warm, mellow character of the Silk & Steel family to the 12-string guitar. Silver-plated copper wound over a combined silk and steel core tames the naturally bright, jangly 12-string voice into something smoother and more intimate — rich and full without the harsh edge, and with noticeably reduced finger noise across all twelve strings.
Lower Tension on a High-Tension Instrument
A 12-string already puts considerable pull on the neck. The silk-and-steel core lowers tension relative to a bronze set of the same gauge, easing the load on the instrument and softening the feel under the fretting hand — a welcome combination for the demanding 12-string.
Construction
- Core: Combined silk and steel for lower tension and a softened attack.
- Wrap: Silver-plated copper for warm, mellow tone.
- Configuration: Full 12-string set with octave and unison pairs.
- Best for: Fingerstyle and folk 12-string playing.
