Product Details

SKU: EJ83M

True to name, this set was designed to suit the needs of gypsy jazz guitar players in an era before amplification. Made by John D’Addario Sr. for legendary luthier Mario Maccaferri, Gypsy Jazz strings embody the authentic tone and feel of acoustic jazz. Constructed with a high carbon steel core and silver-plated copper wrap wire, this set delivers the beautifully warm, percussive, and projecting tone heard in the recordings of Django Reinhardt and other acoustic jazz ensembles. This 11-45 Medium Ball End set is made for acoustic guitars which use ball end strings and has a bit more tension than light gauge strings.

Ideal For: Gypsy Jazz

Made in the USA at our New York production facility.
