The "Phosphor Bronze" acoustic sound... now long-lasting
Since D'Addario introduced Phosphor Bronze in 1974, this type of string has become a benchmark for achieving a warm, precise, and versatile acoustic tone. With the XT Phosphor Bronze, you get this signature sound while gaining long-term comfort: the XT treatment protects each string from playing-related wear (sweat, humidity), preserving the brightness and balance of a fresh set for longer.
Designed to withstand variations in attack and dynamics, these strings feature a high-carbon NY Steel steel core treated by D'Addario and Fusion Twist technology, which improves tuning stability and reduces breakage risk. The result: less frequent tuning and longer playing time, with a claimed 131% greater durability compared to traditional strings. An excellent choice if you alternate between energetic strumming, fingerstyle, acoustic blues, or pop, and want a comfortable and expressive Light 12-53 gauge.
