The D'Addario Acoustic Sound, with Longevity Designed for the Stage
The XT Phosphor Bronze strings carry forward the sonic signature introduced by D'Addario in 1974: natural warmth, beautiful balance, and a rich spectrum that highlights both open chords and detailed arpeggios. The XT treatment, hydrophobic and microscopic, protects each string from corrosive effects caused by sweat and humidity, while maintaining a dynamic response close to that of untreated strings.
Designed for guitarists who play frequently (rehearsals, concerts, sessions), these Medium 13-56 strings offer solid tension and projection. The combination of NY Steel and Fusion Twist improves tuning stability and break resistance, with a promise to stay in tune 131% longer than traditional strings. Made in the USA under strict specifications, they are aimed at those seeking a classic, reliable, and durable acoustic sound.
