The D’Addario EJ26 Phosphor Bronze 11–52 Custom Light set bridges the gap between light and medium. It uses phosphor bronze wrap wire on a hex steel core to create D’Addario’s signature warm, balanced tone. You get the familiar smoothness and sustain of our light acoustic strings, but with a bit more body and volume. This makes the chords fat and rich without becoming hard to play. These strings bring a little extra boom to the low end and slightly more projection, perfect for strummers who want fullness. Yet the treble side stays responsive and easy to bend.

All gauges work together for versatile playability: bright enough to cut through the mix, yet warm enough for fingerpicking detail. Built with hex-core precision, EJ26 strings offer reliable intonation and long-lasting use, so they retain that warm, balanced tone gig after gig. Slightly heavier than Extra Light sets, these strings offer fuller volume and tighter low end while remaining comfortable to play. Precision-wound phosphor bronze wrap on steel core yields clear trebles and long-lasting durability. 

Gauges: E4 .011, B3 .015, G3 .022, D3 .032, A2 .042, E2 .052.
