Product Overview
D'Addario XSAPB11553 represents a fusion of advanced string coating technology and premium phosphor bronze alloy, delivering the longest life and most reliable performance in D'Addario's acoustic string lineup. Featuring an ultra-thin XS film coating on every wound string and a unique polymer treatment on the plain steel strings, these strings protect your set against corrosion without compromising tone or feel. The custom light plus gauge balances light string tension on the treble for easy bending with slightly heavier tension on the bass for fuller, richer sound and enhanced projection. Designed with NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology, XSAPB11553 offers outstanding break strength, tuning stability, and the warm, balanced acoustic tone that musicians demand.
