Built on one of D’Addario’s most significant advances in string technology, XS Phosphor Bronze strings are designed to deliver exceptional longevity and performance. These strings feature an ultra-thin XS coating that protects the warm, balanced tone of phosphor bronze while providing an unusually smooth and comfortable playing feel.

Constructed with a NY Steel core, phosphor bronze wrap wire, and D’Addario’s Fusion Twist technology, XS strings offer impressive break strength and outstanding tuning stability. The result is a reliable set of strings that maintains tone and performance far longer than traditional acoustic strings.

The 12–53 Light gauge remains the most popular choice for acoustic players, offering an ideal balance of playability, responsiveness, and full-bodied tone.
