D'addario's phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings are engineered to serve as the critical link between you and your guitar. Our most popular acoustic guitar strings, ej's 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. Review: Amazing sound and easy on the fingers - I'm not an advanced guitar player by any means, very much a hobbyist who likes to dabble on her Little Martin every now and then. However, I'm not completely unmusical either, as I had lessons growing up, and these sound sublime to my ears. SO much better than regular guitar strings. I even tried the Martin Silk and Steel and they didn't sound as good as these, nor last as long. Silk and Steel in general do not last as long as regular steel/ bronze strings, but these will last you a month or two easy even if you play every single day. They're also MUCH easier on your fingers. So for the sound quality: I have heard silk and steel sound better on short- scale, smaller guitars which mine is, at a scale length of just 23.5'. So this would work well for those of you with a Little Martin or Baby Taylor/ Taylor GS Mini. It's not as metallic and strident as the regular strings, but more mellow, closer to the sound of a nylon- stringed classical guitar. Brilliant for folk music, which is my favourite sound and vibe. These are also the only strings I can play barre chords on with ease, so if you're really having trouble with that as a beginner it might be worthwhile to check these out. In conclusion: I love these strings, and I love the D' Addario Silk and Steel ones more than the other brands I've tried. They feel wonderful to play, and sound amazing to the ear, especially if you play more finger style without a pick and have a smaller bodied, short scale acoustic, and tend to favour a folk vibe. All of which applies to me, which is why I won't be experimenting with any other type or brand. This is the one. Review: It's a change of style; I wasn't anticipating it to sound this terrific. - These strings have a unique ability to spice things up and add a new chapter of tonal clarity. However, wouldn't expect it to have the same shimmer as the phosphor bronze or the 80/20 bronze. These are soft-voiced strings. Go for these, especially if you have a second guitar; they will undoubtedly help you practise for longer periods of time without causing pain in your finger tips or arm. It's a breeze to play if the action is right. I've never had any troubles tuning them. Despite reports of breakage, I haven't encountered any in the two months since installation. ## Features - Designed and gauged for fingerstyle guitarists who prefer a warm, mellow tone - Silk interwindings for soft, easy feel on fingers - Corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh - Made in the U.S.A. for the highest quality and performance - String Gauges: Plain Steel .011, .014, Silk & Steel Wound .023, .028, .038, .047; Set of Six strings Musical Notes E,B,G,D,A,E ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OR88JE | | Best Sellers Rank | #2,586 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #67 in Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Silk, Steel, Copper | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | coated | | Colour | Red | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,664 Reviews | | Finish Type | Bronze Plated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954952167 | | Included Components | 6N String | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Type Name | Strings | | Item Weight | 0.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario & Co INC | | Manufacturer Part Number | EJ40 | | Material Type | Silk, Steel | | Model Name | D'Addario | | Model Number | EJ40 | | Packer Contact Information | Mihika Enterprises, H.NO 402, Mangolpur Kalan, New Delhi - 110085 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Acoustic Guitar | | Sound Profile | Warm and Mellow | | String Gauge | Custom | | String Material Type | Nylon | | UPC | 019954952167 019954126025 133588804200 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | No warranty | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Red - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String Gauge:** Custom - **String Material Type:** Nylon ## Images ![EJ40 Silk and Steel 11-47 Folk Guitar Strings | Silk & Steel acoustic strings deliver warm mellow tone, easy feel, smooth response and comfortable playability. - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81xObvuN3hL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this classical guitar strings or regular acoustic guitar strings** A: It's steel, meant for acoustic. Classical guitar strings are not steel. If you want classical like sound on acoustic guitar then this is the nearest that you can get. **Q: Can i use this strings on fender cd60ce?** A: it sounds amazing.. I have the same guitar and after I replaced the old strings with the EJ40 Silk and Steel strings, it sounded even better. It gives a full and bright sound and great for finger picking.. You should give it a try for once and I'm sure, you won't be disappointed. **Q: Can I use this string for epiphone aj220sce ?** A: Yes, I don't see why not. But it depends on what kind of music you want to play. Silk and Steel strings are better suited for fingerstyle playing. Rhythm guitar, especially if you have a heavy attack, might sound a little jangly, especially compared to phosphor bronze. But overall, silk and steel are great strings, easy on the fingers, with a nice warm tone, and I'm very happy with them. **Q: which string is best for my squire sa105 for loud and sweet sound?** A: There is no shortcut for this. Depends on your playing style, try different strings and decide your favourite set of strings. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing sound and easy on the fingers *by A***R on 25 October 2023* I'm not an advanced guitar player by any means, very much a hobbyist who likes to dabble on her Little Martin every now and then.

Showing a little rust but I live in a high temperature high humidity environment, so mileage may vary. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings, Silk & Steel, EJ40, Light Gauge 11-47, 6-String Set, Pack of 1 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Martin Authentic Acoustic Guitar Strings, Superior Performance Custom 11.5-47, Silk & HT Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/75817721-ej40-silk-and-steel-11-47-folk-guitar-strings-silk](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/75817721-ej40-silk-and-steel-11-47-folk-guitar-strings-silk) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-07-28*
