The first company to produce phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings, D'Addario brings their pioneering expertise to resonator guitars. The EJ42 PB set provides the warm, balanced tone that defined D'Addario's reputation, optimized for the unique sound of resonator guitars. These strings feature color-coded ball ends for quick identification and are precision wound with phosphor bronze wrap wire over a high-carbon steel core.

Vintage-Inspired Tone

Phosphor bronze has produced D'Addario's signature warm and nuanced tone since 1974. The EJ42 PB Resophonic String Set brings this vintage-inspired sound to resonator guitars, evoking the genre's roots. Musicians aiming to capture an authentic bluesy tone will appreciate the tonal balance and clarity of these strings.

Precision Engineering

As the world's largest string manufacturer, D'Addario is obsessed with quality. The EJ42 PB Resophonic String Set is precision engineered to stringent tolerances, ensuring consistent tone, intonation, and performance. The phosphor bronze wrap wire is tightly wound over a high-carbon steel core, providing even tension and resonance.

With gauges of .016-.018-.028-.035-.045-.056, the EJ42 PB Resophonic String Set is tailored for resonator guitars. The heavier bass strings provide full low-end resonance, while the lighter treble strings allow the instrument's distinctive tone to shine through. This balanced set enables musicians to capture the signature sound of resonator guitars.

    I've not played a dobro a lot but have been around many. But my opinion is that I'm not getting the sound that I'd like out of these. The old strings had more of a ring to them. My opinion.

  • Best possible resophonic strings

    Strings sound great and have an excellent tone. They are loud and clear, and tune up quickly. I can always rely on D'Addario for high quality.

  • Much better than regular med gauge strings

    I recently acquired a dobro guitar from a cousin, I told him I was interested in learning to play bottle neck slide guitar. I replaced the strings with the normal medium gauge strings, but the 1st and 2nd strings tones sounded a bit thin. I was browsing strings of the Guitar Center website and saw the D'Addario resophonic strings I noticed that the 1st and 2nd strings were of a heavier gauge. As I tune the guitar to open G or D, I noticed a much fuller tone. I a very happy with the strings and would reccomend them to anyone who has a resophonic guitar.
