D'Addario EJ42 Phosphor Bronze Resophonic Guitar Strings - Medium (16-56)

Unlock the rich, iconic tone of your resophonic guitar with D'Addario EJ42 Phosphor Bronze strings.

Engineered specifically for the demands of 6-string resophonic and Dobro guitars, the EJ42 set delivers the warmth, projection, and sustain professional players demand. Whether you are playing bluegrass, country, or blues, these medium-gauge strings provide the ideal balance of tension and playability.

D'Addario pioneered Phosphor Bronze string technology in 1974, and the EJ42 set continues that legacy by precision-winding corrosion-resistant phosphor bronze wrap wire over a hexagonal, high-carbon steel core. The result is a long-lasting, reliable string set with a bright, balanced acoustic tone that cuts through the mix.
