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.
