Frequently Asked Questions
What gauge are D'Addario EJ11 strings?
D'Addario EJ11 strings are light gauge, running from .012 to .053 inches. This is D'Addario's most popular acoustic gauge and offers a balance of comfortable playability and full tone.
What is the difference between D'Addario EJ11 and EJ16?
EJ11 uses 80/20 bronze wrap wire, which gives a brighter, more projecting tone, while EJ16 uses phosphor bronze for a warmer, more balanced sound. Both are 12-53 light gauge, so the choice comes down to tone preference rather than playability.
