D'addario Flat Top Phosphor Bronze Half Round Acoustic Guitar Strings EFT16 Light Gauge .012-.053

D'Addario Flat Tops Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings

As a half round phosphor bronze acoustic guitar set, Flat Tops are designed to significantly reduce unwanted finger noise. Combining tried-and-true phosphor bronze tone with a smoother feel and quieter playing experience, they’re excellent for recording—and slide guitar playing. Flat Tops are made with a high carbon steel core and phosphor bronze wrap wire, which is then precision ground and polished, leaving behind a semi-flat string with a smooth feel and beautifully balanced tone. 12-53 Light gauge strings are our most popular acoustic gauge, providing a nice balance of playability and tone.

IDEAL FOR: 

• STUDIO/RECORDING
• ALL GENRES
• SLIDE PLAYING

The original String:

Pioneered in 1974 and still revered today, Phosphor Bronze has become synonymous with warm, well-balanced acoustic tone. D'Addario Phosphor Bronze strings are precision wound with corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result is long-lasting, bright sounding tone with excellent intonation.
