D'Addario EJ18 Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - Heavy (14-59)

Unleash Deep, Rich Resonance with D’Addario’s Heaviest Acoustic Gauge

If you want your acoustic guitar to command the room, standard light strings won’t cut it. The D'Addario EJ18 Phosphor Bronze Heavy Acoustic Guitar Strings are engineered to deliver maximum volume, sustained projection, and a massive, warm bass response.

Introduced to the music world by D'Addario in 1974, Phosphor Bronze has become the industry standard for acoustic tone. These strings feature a precision-wound, corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze wire wrapped around a high-carbon, hexagonally shaped steel core. The result? A perfectly balanced, bright-yet-warm tone that lasts significantly longer than traditional bronze strings.

Engineered for Heavy Strummers & Alternate Tunings

With a tension-packed .014 to .059 gauge profile, the EJ18 set is specifically built for players who don't hold back.

• Maximized Projection: Drive the top wood of dreadnought and jumbo acoustic guitars to their absolute limit for unmatched acoustic volume.

• Perfect for Down-Tuning: If you tune down to D, C, or play in open-tuning styles, these heavy-gauge strings maintain crucial tension, preventing "string flop" and buzz while keeping your intonation rock-solid.

• Robust Flatpicking & Strumming: Designed to withstand aggressive pick attacks without thinning out or breaking.
