The D'Addario EJ13 80/20 Bronze Custom Light acoustic guitar strings provide a lush, bright tone reminiscent of vintage guitars. These acoustic strings feature an 80/20 bronze alloy that produces crisp highs, warm lows and rich overtones. The hexagonal core stabilizes each string for enhanced intonation, tuning stability and longevity. Whether you're recording or performing, these Custom Light strings deliver a bold, projecting tone that cuts through the mix. The EJ13 strings are ideal for players seeking authentic, vintage-style acoustic tone and playability.

80/20 Bronze for Vintage Tone

The 80/20 bronze wrap wire is key to the vintage tone of the EJ13 strings. Also known as brass, this alloy produces a warm, complex tone with shimmering highs and a lush bottom end. 80/20 bronze strings have been used on acoustic guitars for decades due to their unparalleled sound and longevity. These strings provide the woody, resonant tone reminiscent of classic acoustics from the early 20th century.

Custom Light Gauge for Comfortable Playability

With a custom light gauge ranging from .011 to .052, the EJ13 strings provide a familiar playing feel for most acoustic guitarists. The lighter gauge makes fretting and bending easier while still producing a bold, projecting tone. Whether you prefer a lighter touch or have smaller hands, the EJ13 custom light strings enable comfortable, effortless playability.

Enhanced Intonation and Tuning Stability

At the core of each EJ13 string is a hexagonal wire that provides enhanced stability and improves intonation. The hex core prevents the wrap wire from slipping, ensuring each string remains securely in tune during play. This design also provides a clear, consistent tone from the first fret to the sound hole. Overall, the EJ13 strings provide tuning stability and tonal clarity that lasts through hours of dynamic play.

Versatile and Long-Lasting

Equally at home in the studio or on stage, the EJ13 strings provide a versatile tone for any acoustic playing situation. Their bold, projecting sound cuts through a mix while also recording well. Built to last, these strings retain a crisp tone for weeks of regular play. For acoustic guitarists seeking a versatile, long-lasting string, the EJ13 80/20 Bronze Custom Light strings deliver on all fronts.

Choice of strings for a smaller body guitar

My son has a Recording King Dirty 37 Series and I purchased the strings for him. This is a smaller body guitar, parlor size I believe and the lighter weight strings are best suited for this instrument. After replacing the strings with this set my son said the sound was great. Also these lighter strings should be easier on the fingers. This is the second set I have purchased.

    These strings are at a good price point though I may try the more expensive coated ones as they seem to stay in tune longer. I have become a fan of D'Addario with their consistent quality products.

    I like the tone scooped mid-range for singing. EJ 13 Custom Light is friendly for fingers but still has enough bass tone. I don't like a coated feeling. I like changing the string for a fresh tone every 2-3 weeks anyway.
