With the D'Addario XS coated phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings, you get the longest lasting acoustic guitar strings available today. The innovative XS phosphor bronze coating gives these warm, balanced strings maximum life, with an uncommonly smooth feel. Made with a NY steel core, phosphor bronze wrap wire and Fusion Twist technology, these coated acoustic guitar strings have unmatched break strength and tuning stability. The Custom Light .011-.052 gauge offers slightly more volume and projection than Extra Light strings, while still being easy to play.

Lasting Playability With an XS Phosphor Bronze Coating

The groundbreaking XS phosphor bronze coating is what gives these acoustic guitar strings their exceptionally long life. By minimizing friction and protecting against corrosion, the ultra-thin XS coating allows your strings to sing for far longer than uncoated strings, while feeling smoother than you ever imagined. You'll experience much less grinding against the frets, allowing for speedy, comfortable playing. And the tuning stability is remarkable, even after weeks of play. The XS coating is a real game changer, letting you play harder and longer without changing your strings nearly as often.

Robust Phosphor Bronze Wrap Wire for Strength and Tone

Underneath the cutting-edge XS coating, these acoustic guitar strings utilize phosphor bronze wrap wire for its warmth, balance and richness of tone. The phosphor bronze provides excellent note definition and complexity. And coupled with a NY steel core, the strings have tremendous tensile strength and break resistance. The Custom Light .011-.052 gauge, in particular, offers enhanced volume and projection compared to lighter sets, allowing your acoustic tone to shine with captivating presence. The phosphor bronze wire also boasts corrosion fighting properties for even more enduring string life.

Precision Made with Fusion Twist Technology

D'Addario leverages advanced Fusion Twist technology in constructing the XS phosphor bronze strings, for unmatched intonation and pitch stability. The winds are precision formed and the core and wrap wires are twisted together under extreme tension. This produces a string that is accurately pitched and maintains tuning integrity over time and aggressive playing. The tight twist fit also reduces slippage between the core and wrap wires. Each set of XS phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings is made thoughtfully in the United States to D'Addario's stringent quality standards.
