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 30 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.
