D’Addario EJ17 Acoustic Guitar Strings are made of 92% copper and 8% phosphorous since 1947 in the U.S.A. They are environmentally friendly, corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh.


1947, now that is impressive!

Slight Veer:
Talk about a "Typo!" Just read a very interesting (but long) article on that very thing. I will paraphrase. Tom T. Hall a terrific songwriter who lives near Nashville received one of the Kentucky Music Awards. In the lengthy article, he is refered to and listed as Tom T. Corridor plus other - I find funny - "auto correct" examples.

In this Guitar String Review we tested the D’Addario EJ17 Medium Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar String. Check it out here:

1) Introduction
D’Addario Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are one of the best acoustic guitar strings we ever played on our guitars. They are are engineered to serve as the critical link between you and your guitar. The EJ Acoustic Guitar Strings are precision wound with corrosion resistant Phosphor Bronze onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result is in our opinion a long lasting, bright acoustic tone with a brilliant intonation.
80/20 Bronze, commonly referred to as brass, is the original acoustic string alloy selected by John D’Addario Sr. and John D’Angelico in the 1930s. 80/20 Bronze strings are popular for recording due to their crisp, deep and projecting tone and appeal to many traditionalists and vintage enthusiasts for their historical significance. D’addario Guitar Strings are the top guitar strings in our guitar string reviews

2) Characteristic and Quality
We found in our guitar string review that 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. With their round wound wire strings they deliver the traditional textured feel which most players love.
D’Addario EJ17 Acoustic Guitar Strings are made of 92% copper and 8% phosphorous since 1947 in the U.S.A. They are environmentally friendly, corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh.
D’Addario’s Phoshor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings offer in our opinion the ideal balance of volume, projection and comfortable playability.

3) Tone & Sound
D’addario EJ 17 Acoustic Guitar Strings sound very good in our guitar string review.
They have overall a very full sound and stand out with their amazing clarity in their acoustic.
This D’addario Guitar strings sound great in their lows and mids and have outstanding highs compared to other acoustic guitar strings.
