1976 D'Addario inside story on great guitar strings

If you had to make a better string for your guitar, how would you do it? Here's how the D'Addario family does it. The best way to give a string longer life and stronger tone is to use a hexagonal core wire. Not sometimes. Always. The edges of a hexagonal core grasp the wrap wire firmly, to keep it from slipping. This gives you a more uniform string, all along its length - for stronger response, better harmonics and overtones - longer life.

That's just one quality that makes D'Addario strings better. Another factor is "strand annealing." Simply, that means we temper the wrap wire a foot at a time under precise control. It gives you more consistency and better dependability than treating wire in batches like others do. And where it matters, we guide the winding wire by hand.

Not everybody makes strings this carefully. But the D'Addario family has been making strings for eight generations. With our name on the package, we can't afford anything less than the best quality. We even give you a choice of brass or bronze windings in four gauges for acoustic guitar...nine different gauges for electric guitar...strings from banjo to dulcimer. Ask for D'Addario - knowing how we make strings should change the way you buy them.
