D’Addario XSAPB1152 Phosphor Bronze – 2-Pack – coated acoustic guitar strings – 2 sets

D'Addario XSAPB1152 Phosphor Bronze strings (2-pack) are premium coated strings for a 6-string acoustic guitar in hybrid Custom Light gauge (.011 - .052).

This set combines the easy playability of lighter treble strings with the full bass response of heavier bass strings. The double pack (2-pack) offers better value and the security of a spare set.

Key features of the XS series:

• Extreme lifespan: The coating protects the strings from corrosion, sweat and dirt, significantly extending their acoustic life.
• Natural playing feel: The protective layer is up to 10× thinner than a human hair. As a result, the strings don’t feel plastic and retain the natural response of standard uncoated strings.
• High tuning stability: Thanks to Fusion Twist technology and the NY Steel core, the strings hold tuning 131% better than standard strings.
• No fraying: Unlike older coated technologies, the protective micro-layer on the XS series does not fray or peel even with intensive pick playing.

Main technical specifications:

• Gauge: .011, .015, .022, .032, .042, .052 (Custom Light).
• Winding material: Phosphor Bronze – delivers a warm, bright and very balanced acoustic tone.
• String core: Hex Core made from high-carbon NY Steel for maximum resistance to breakage.
• Finish: Ultra-thin protective film on wound strings and a polymer treatment on plain strings.
