D'Addario Strings manufactures strings for just about every instrument imaginable, and they've been doing it for over eight generations. Their strings are used on more stages by more professional players than any other, and their packaging is slick--D'Addario uses environmentally friendly string pouches, and intuitive colored ball ends for figuring out which string goes where when you're restringing your guitar. I've been playing guitar for nearly 25 years, and after trying many, many strings on several different guitars, I often find myself coming back to D'Addario strings for their ability to hold tone, pitch, and playability.

Phosphor Bronze

Bluegrass - While the "bluegrass" gauge is not unique to D'Addario strings, it's worth defining here: Bluegrass sets feature light top strings and medium bottom strings (medium E, A, D, G, light B, E).

80/20 Bronze - A very bright string, this produces crisp highs and a full low end.

EXP - This is D'Addario's entry into the coated strings market, and is one of their most sought-after strings. Their approach to coating strings is unique: They coat the wrap wire before it's wound around the base wire. This produces a string that maintains its response significantly longer than regular D'Addario strings (which is why coated strings are priced at a premium). The polymer coating also reduces string squeak. As with Elixirs, several major guitar makers, most notably Lowden, have begun to ship their guitars strung with EXPs because of their great, long-lasting tone.

We've just introduced a new way to buy D'Addario strings, and I think you're going to like it. The principle is simple: If you only want to order a single set of strings (or a single 3-Pack), then you get our lowest possible price for one set--and it's not just our lowest price, but the lowest price anywhere online. If you know you need more than a couple of sets, then the more strings you buy, the cheaper they get. The best part is, our standard free shipping applies even to small orders, so that you can buy a single pack of D'Addario strings at a delivered price of less than $7 (but we recommend buying the 3-packs). Please note that, at least for now, bulk discounts on D'Addario strings only apply to individual gauges. If you'd like to mix and match to get the bulk discounts, please contact us:

Every D'Addario string order shipped free, regardless of size.
