To my knowledge, only the Nylon Classical strings come with/without ball ends. **Q: how many strings in the pack** A: It's not a dumb question. Amazon is sending out single strings instead of complete sets in some cases. Happened to me 3 times when buying D'Addario electric "set"s. **Q: Does this set have a wound third?** A: Yes, it does, here are the gauges: String Gauges: Plain Steel .011, .015, Bronze Wound .022, .032, .042, .052 **Q: This have 12 string by pack ?** A: The strings I buy usually have six strings per pack. I got a cheap brand of strings that had 12 strings, but that's not how they are generally sold. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Acoustic Guitar Strings - 80/20 Bronze - For 6 String Guitars - Deep, Bright, Projecting Tone - EJ11 - Light, 12-53 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Ernie Ball Regular Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 10-46 Gauge (P02221) --- ## 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.nz/products/3753296-ej11-80-20-bronze-acoustic-guitar-strings-light-12-53](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/3753296-ej11-80-20-bronze-acoustic-guitar-strings-light-12-53) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-23*
