D'Addario Flat Tops EFT13 Resophonic Guitar Strings

Overview

A slide player or recording guitarist gets reduced finger noise from this half-round phosphor bronze set, which is precision ground to a semi-flat surface. Each string has a high-carbon steel core under phosphor bronze wrap wire.

Smoother feel and a quieter playing experience are the reasons to look at it, with the tone and tension of a standard resophonic set. Recording and flat-picking are the named uses. It is a six-string set sold for resophonic guitars, so it is a narrow choice.

Who it's for

Resophonic and slide guitarists who need less finger squeak while recording or flat-picking. Players with a regular steel-string acoustic should check gauge fit first, and anyone else should choose a regular-surface set.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Round-wound strings are precision ground and polished, which flattens the outer surface without losing the phosphor bronze tone and sustain. That smoother surface reduces finger noise against the winding. Tension matches the standard resophonic set it was based on.
