D'Addario XTAPB1253

Since D'Addario introduced Phosphor Bronze strings for acoustic guitars in 1974, they have become synonymous with a warm, balanced sound. The XT Phosphor Bronze offers just that and more: it is more break-resistant, stable in tuning, and durable than standard Phosphor Bronze strings. The XT coating provides enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining the warm tone and natural feel of the uncoated string. Beneath the winding, these XT acoustic strings consist of a NY Steel core, a Phosphor Bronze wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, which ensures tonal versatility and added elasticity, making them suitable for a variety of acoustic styles. This 12-53 Light Gauge set is our most popular acoustic string gauge, offering a good balance between playability and sound.
