The D'Addario EJ26 is the Custom Light set of D'Addario's original phosphor bronze acoustic strings, a formula the company introduced in 1974 that has been a go-to acoustic string ever since. Gauged .011 to .052, it sits between Extra Light and Light: easier on the fingers than a standard Light set, with more body and volume than Extra Lights.

Phosphor bronze gives a warm, bright, well-balanced sound that suits strumming, fingerpicking, and everything in between. Each wound string is precision-wrapped around a hexagonal high-carbon steel core for consistent tone, reliable intonation, and long life.

Who it's for

A great choice for newer players building finger strength, players who want lighter tension without losing the fullness of a Light set, and anyone tuning down or using a capo often. Folk, country, singer-songwriter, worship, and pop players all get a lot of mileage out of this set.
