D’Addario XS Acoustic Phosphor Bronze string combines D’Addario‘s most popular acoustic alloy with our most advanced string coating technology, resulting in clear tone, smooth feel, and superior tuning stability — all with the longest possible string life. D’Addario XS is 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.
D’Addario XS is the most innovative coated string ever created. Setting D’Addario XS apart from other strings is the new, impossibly thin film coating (1/10 the thickness of a human hair) that completely protects the wound strings from corrosion, without dampening the tone. This new film covering is combined with D’Addario’s proprietary dispersion coating, used in our XT line, to protect the plain steel strings as well.
This groundbreaking innovation offers players maximum life, an unprecedented level of strength and stability—all without sacrificing our iconic D’Addario tone.
