D'Addario XTAPB1253 XT Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic String Set
The D'Addario XTAPB1253 pairs classic Light 12-53 phosphor bronze warmth with D'Addario's XT treatment - an advanced corrosion-resistance coating applied to every string in the set that dramatically extends string life while preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings. High-carbon NY Steel cores and Fusion Twist construction add impressive break resistance and pitch stability to match.
XT Extended Lifespan Treatment
XT is the evolution of D'Addario's EXP coated strings. Rather than a heavy coating, every string carries an extended-lifespan treatment that resists corrosion and wear from sweat, humidity and everyday playing, so the set holds its like-new timbre and resonance for weeks on end - without the slippery, plastic feel heavier coatings can leave under your fingers.
Warm Phosphor Bronze with Modern Strength
Phosphor bronze wrap wire gives the XTAPB1253 warm lows, crisp highs and balanced projection that suits folk, soft rock, strumming and fingerstyle - and thanks to the transparent XT treatment it stays a touch brighter than comparable coated sets. Underneath, high-carbon NY Steel core wire and D'Addario's Fusion Twist prevent slack in the twist from detuning the string, for enhanced break resistance and tuning that stays put 131% better than other acoustic strings.
