With a wound G-string, D’Angelico’s Electrozinc Jazz 10’s are designed for exceptional jazz tone and stability, while still prioritizing comfort.Co-designed and engineered by DAddario, Electrozinc marks the return of the partnership between these two legendary brands.
The story of the string begins more than 75 years ago. In 1938, John DAngelico was already a living legend known for his signature archtop guitars, while John DAddario was a young kid trying to expand the family string business. Their chance meeting would result in the invention of the worlds first modern round wound electric guitar string, the zinc-coated Bethanized Steel. Its sound was unrivaled in fullness, volume, and brightness. Its tone would be featured on some of the greatest records of all time. But the closing of the Bethlehem Steel plant in the 60s put an abrupt end to its production, leaving its sound unmatched for over half a century. Until now.
Today, DAngelico and DAddario have re-forged their storied partnership. Combining modern innovation with John DAddarios original designs, DAngelicos Electrozinc string is the truest tribute to Bethanized Steel since the original. And DAddarios EXP technology coats every string to maintain its classic tone even longer. Electrozinc will be available in six gauge variations, suiting players from all traditionsfrom hard rock to swinging jazz:
