EFT13 Flat Top strings combine the tone and tension of D'Addario's best selling EJ42 Resophonic guitar set with a smoother, polished surface for reduced string noise.

  • Designed and gauged for Resophonic guitar
  • Smooth, flattened playing surface, superb tone and sustain associated with phosphor bronze strings
  • Environmentally friendly, 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 .016, .019 Phosphor Bronze .028, .036, .044, .056

D'Addario Flat Tops are round wound, then precision ground, leaving the outer surface smooth and "semi-flat." This produces a smooth, flattened playing surface, but does not sacrifice the superb tone and sustain associated with phosphor bronze strings. Flat Tops greatly reduce finger noise and are excellent for recording and flat-picking.
