D'Addario XS Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings – Premium Long-Life Performance

Elevate your acoustic performance with the D'Addario XS series, the most innovative coated string ever created. Designed to provide maximum life and a smooth, fast feel without sacrificing the iconic D'Addario tone, these strings are engineered for guitarists who demand excellence and longevity. Whether you are a professional touring musician or a dedicated hobbyist, the XS series represents a leap forward in string technology, combining high-carbon steel cores with an impossibly thin protective film.

Key Benefits

Ultra-Thin Film Coating:** Features an advanced, microscopic coating that protects every string in the set from performance-killing contaminants like moisture, sweat, and grime. This ensures a smooth, fast feel under your fingers without the "greasy" sensation of traditional coated strings.

Superior Tone Longevity:** Lab-tested for extreme durability, the XS series exhibits remarkably slow tone decay. Frequency spectrum tests show that even after 7,000 strums, these strings maintain a profile nearly identical to a brand-new set, keeping your guitar sounding fresh for weeks or months.

NY Steel High-Carbon Core:** Built upon D'Addario’s proprietary NY Steel hex core, these strings offer unparalleled break strength and superior tuning stability. You can play harder and stay in tune longer, even during aggressive performances.

Optimized Material Selection:** Available in Phosphor Bronze for a warm, well-balanced, and full-bodied mid-range, or 80/20 Bronze (Brass) for those seeking a bright, crisp, and vintage acoustic snap.

Professional Reliability:** Recognized for their exceptional toughness and tonal consistency, these strings are the preferred choice for premium guitar manufacturers like Taylor.

How to Use

To install your new D'Addario XS strings, thread the ball-end through the bridge and secure it with the bridge pin. Guide the string to the corresponding tuning machine, leaving enough slack for 2–3 wraps around the post. Use a string winder for a faster setup and a pair of wire cutters to trim the excess wire. Once tuned to pitch, gently stretch each string to settle the core and ensure maximum tuning stability. The ultra-thin coating is ready for immediate play and does not require a "break-in" period to feel smooth.

Care & Safety

To maintain the integrity of the protective coating, store spare sets in a cool, dry environment. While the XS series is designed to resist corrosion and moisture, wiping the strings down with a clean, lint-free cloth after each playing session will help remove surface oils and further extend their lifespan. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive string-cleaning tools that could compromise the ultra-thin film.
