Badi Assad's String: Pro-Arte’ EJ46
Pro-Arte delivers sweet, mellow highs, giving you the sound and feel that have come to define classical guitar. The hard tension strings provide a rich, bold tone and strong projection. Their durability ensures that Badi can rely on them performance after performance.
Pro Plus Capo
Thanks to our revolutionary FlexFit™ technology, the pad on the D’Addario Pro Plus Capo's arm mimics the natural function of the human finger when fretting a string. This ensures you never have to worry about unwanted buzzing, muted strings, or intonation issues caused by varying capo pressure allowing Badi to deliver a sound she truly loves.
