Review: Very good quality - Bought these for accoustic guitar. They have lovely tone but were not really loud enough without amplification. I believe they are really meant for a nylon string guitar. They do have a lovely tone though. Review: Great tone for Taylor GS Mini - Having struggled to find lighter gauge strings for a Taylor GS Mini these hit the sweet spot. I've found the shorter scale length has made the strings too tight to bend, especially as the guitar is set up for 12 and 13 gauge. Further, I've found the Taylor overly bright and was looking for a string to give a more mellow tone. I like my action very low and with other gauge strings managed as low as 1mm at top E 12th fret - yes, it can be done. Had to give the tiniest tweak to the truss rod to stop any buzz but these strings still manage about 1.5mm action. They have a lower tension, fuller sound and are wonderfully soft to the touch. ## Features - Warm and Mellow: Silk & Steel acoustic guitar strings provide our warmest, mellowest tone with low tension and reduced finger noise that's great for fingerstyle playing - Vintage Acoustic Vibes: Made with silver-plated copper windings over a combination silk and steel core for a softened tone that's deal for parlor guitars and vintage instruments - Strings for Every Style: From jazz to metal to rock, bluegrass, blues, folk and more, we make great sounding strings for every genre and level from beginner to pro, including strings for bass, acoustic, classical, and 12-string - Sound Better, Play Better: Shop our whole collection of guitar accessories including string winders, picks, straps, capos, tuners, cables, gear bags and cases, plus strings for banjo, mandolin, ukelele and more - Made in the USA: As the world’s largest and most respected maker of musical accessories, D’Addario guitar strings are made to exacting specifications at our cutting edge New York production facility ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000OR88JE | | Best Sellers Rank | 625 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 51 in Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Silk & Steel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | silver | | Coating description | silver | | Colour | Silver Color | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 3,826 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954952167 | | Hand Orientation | BOTH | | Included Components | 6 individual guitar strings | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Type Name | D'Addario EJ40 Silk & Steel Normal (.011-.047) Folk Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 0.2 Ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario &Co.

They are a good string although I find them just a little 'quieter' than the other phosphor bronze D'Addario strings I use. Happy to recommend them and indeed most D'Addario strings. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good quality *by A***R on 27 April 2026* Bought these for accoustic guitar. They have lovely tone but were not really loud enough without amplification. I believe they are really meant for a nylon string guitar. They do have a lovely tone though. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tone for Taylor GS Mini *by M***D on 6 October 2024* Having struggled to find lighter gauge strings for a Taylor GS Mini these hit the sweet spot.

Lovely feel under the fingers and sound warm which is what I wanted. Sound good through the piezo and great for mic recording. Over all very pleased just wish they would do a 12 to 52 set. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings, Silk & Steel, EJ40, Light Gauge 11-47, 6-String Set, Pack of 1 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Martin Authentic Acoustic Guitar Strings, Superior Performance Custom 11.5-47, Silk & HT Steel --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.bo/products/49551902-daddario-silk-and-steel-acoustic-strings-ej40-6-string-11](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/49551902-daddario-silk-and-steel-acoustic-strings-ej40-6-string-11) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-08-06*
