Reviews around quality (3.50 of 5)

  • View larger View larger Anatomy of a D'Addario Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar String Three components of a D'Addario guitar string work together to create your desired tone: Hex-core, outer wrap wire, and ball-end
  • It all starts with the core
  • D'Addario pioneered the use of the Hex Core, and as the name suggests, it is a six-sided high carbon steel core-wire
  • Each side "bites" into the wire used for the outer winding, creating a tight and consistent bond that keeps the string in tune from end to end
  • The final component is a D'Addario exclusive: color-coded ball-ends that secure the string in place at the guitar's bridge, allowing for easy string identification and a major reduction in wasteful packaging
  • Phosphor Bronze 92% copper and 8% tin with phosphorous, introduced to string making by D'Addario in 1974 as the first "extended life" strings
  • Phosphor Bronze is synonymous with warm, bright, and well balanced acoustic tone
