D’Addario XS Coated Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings

D’addario XS acoustic guitar strings are breathing new life into coated strings. With its ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and unique polymer treatment on the plain steels, XS offers our highest level of protection for maximum life with an uncommonly smooth feel, making it the most innovative coated string ever created.

IMPOSSIBLY THIN, ALWAYS TRUE

Thanks to an incredibly thin coating,
every XS string stays true to the iconic D’Addario tone.

Ultra Thin Coating

10x thinner than a human hair. A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the strings to be completely protected from contaminants for lasting tone and maximum life.

Hex Core Construction

The hex core allows the string wire to grip the core more effectively than a round core. This improves stability, durability, and intonation.

Fusion Twist Feature

This feature prevents slack in the twist from detuning the string. The Fusion Twist features ensure you have maximum tuning stability and a stronger string less likely to break.

NY Steel

The XS strings use D’addario’s their strong NY steel made from premium high carbon steel. This material is stronger and more stable than other string types.
