Our Teachers' Review
D'Addario EJ16 strings are the industry standard for acoustic guitar. Light gauge strings are ideal for beginners because they require less finger pressure, reducing soreness during the critical first weeks of learning. They produce a bright, well-balanced tone that works across all styles.
Our teachers recommend changing acoustic strings every 1-2 months for students who practice regularly. Old strings lose their brightness and can develop intonation problems. Keeping a spare set in the case means you're always prepared when a string breaks during practice.
