D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings — Medium 13-56
The Longest-Lasting Acoustic String D'Addario Makes
The D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze in Medium 13-56 pairs the warm, ringing phosphor bronze tone players have trusted for decades with D'Addario's most advanced protective coating. An ultra-thin film - roughly ten times thinner than a human hair - seals every wound string, while a polymer treatment protects the plain steels. The strings sound and feel like a great uncoated set, but the tone stays full and bright for far longer.
Coated for Maximum Life
XS is the longest-lasting acoustic string D'Addario builds. The film locks out the sweat, oils, and grime that kill tone, so the harmonics stay alive hours - and weeks - past where a standard set would go dull. The coating is thin enough that you keep the natural phosphor bronze warmth and an uncommonly smooth feel under the fingers, without the drag or squeak some coated strings are known for.
Construction
- Wrap: Phosphor bronze for warm, projecting acoustic tone.
- Core: NY Steel - high-carbon steel drawn at D'Addario's New York facility, with a hex profile for grip and precise intonation.
- Coating: Ultra-thin XS film on the wound strings; polymer treatment on the plain steels.
- Process: Fusion Twist for tuning stability and higher break strength.
Stays in Tune, Resists Breakage
The NY Steel core and Fusion Twist construction stay in tune up to 131% better than standard acoustic strings and add real break resistance, so a fresh set settles in fast and holds pitch through hard strumming and bending.
