A Hybrid Gauge Designed for Demanding Guitarists
With their Light Top/Medium Bottom (12-56) configuration, these D'Addario XS 80/20 Bronze strings combine soft trebles for bends, precise picking, and open chords, with tighter lows for increased sustain, punch, and definition. The XS coating, fused to the winding, aims to preserve the naturally bright and powerful character of 80/20 bronze while radically extending the string life, even under tough conditions (sweat, temperature variations, frequent playing). The wound strings benefit from full protection against external aggressions, while the unwound strings receive a dedicated polymer treatment. The packaging is 100% recyclable and includes a resealable anti-corrosion pouch ; a registration code is also provided for the Players Circle program. Made in the USA, they are manufactured to strict specifications in the state of New York.
