D'ADDARIO - XS ACOUSTIC STRINGS - PHOSPHOR BRONZE - 13-56

FARMINGDALE, New York?– D'Addario is proud to introduce XS, a true technological breakthrough in coated strings. This groundbreaking innovation offers players maximum life, an unprecedented level of strength and stability—all without sacrificing our iconic D'Addario tone.

Led by Chief Innovation Officer, Jim D'Addario, the team incorporated D'Addario's proprietary manufacturing processes and well-known innovations—like NY Steel high-carbon cores in the wound strings and Fusion Twist technology in the plain steels—to give XS incomparable break strength and tuning stability.

Setting 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.

"Several years ago, I posed a simple question to our team of engineers and product designers, to create the world's greatest coated string with no tonal compromise and no slick or slippery feel," says Jim D'Addario. "I am proud to say our team rose to every one of these incredible challenges with the new XS strings, providing the most advanced and effective defense possible to lock in your string tone."

D'Addario XS Acoustic Phosphor Bronze combines D'Addario's most popular acoustic alloy with the most advanced string coating technology, resulting in clear tone, smooth feel, and superior tuning stability - all with the longest possible string life. Available in Phosphor Bronze for 6 and 12-string acoustic guitar, ranging from extra-light to medium gauges.
