About D'Addario XTAPB1253

While D'Addario has been a trusted name in the music industry since 1974, their XT Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings set a new standard for quality and performance. These light, 12-53 gauge strings are not only synonymous with warm, well-balanced tone but also offer enhanced break resistance and pitch stability.

Crafted with a NY Steel core and phosphor bronze wrap wire, these strings are designed for durability and longevity. The Fusion Twist technology further enhances their resilience, making them an excellent choice for a wide range of acoustic styles.

The XT coating on these strings provides advanced corrosion resistance, ensuring they stand the test of time. Despite this protective layer, the strings retain the warm tone and natural feel of uncoated strings, offering an uncompromising performance that never fades away.

These strings are precision-wound in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York, using advanced machinery and processes. The result is a high carbon steel string that delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.

The hexagonal core construction, pioneered by D'Addario, allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation. This, coupled with the Fusion Twist feature that prevents slack in the twist, ensures maximum tuning stability and higher break strength.

In short, the XTAPB1253 XT Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are a testament to D'Addario's commitment to quality, innovation, and performance. Whether you're a professional musician or an enthusiastic beginner, these strings are designed to deliver extraordinary sounds and stability.
