EXP Coated Phosphor Bronze Strings

Behind every set of D'Addario strings are over three centuries of fine craftsmanship. The D'Addario family tradition began in the tiny town of Salle, Italy in 1680 where they made assorted instrument strings for over two hundred years before relocating to New York in 1905. As the modern string making industry began to develop, the D'Addario family emerged as innovators by designing the winding machine most string makers still use today. And while their techniques have modernized, the pride that goes into each set of strings dates back to the D'Addario family's earliest roots.

An ultra-fine layer of EXP Coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. EXP coated phosphor bronze strings have a natural round wound feel and sound fresh and bright with a "new string tone" that lasts three to four times longer than traditional guitar strings.

Reviews

Great String

by Dave from NW Missouri
May 5, 2012
Music Background: singer-songwriter
I've been playing guitar for over 40 years and have played dozens of different brands of strings from Black Diamond, Fender, Nashville Straights [how many people remember those?], Adamas, Yamaha, Gibs... read more [+]on, GHS, Martin, Ernie Ball, and these. When I purchased a Breedlove four years ago, these were what it came from the factory with and these were recommended. So I've been using these ever since and have not regretted it.
These sound great from the first tuning. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

Ninety-five percent of everything in this studio came from Sweetwater. My Sales Engineer is a lifesaver. I started working with him around 2005, talking to him about what my vision was for the studio. He was right there all the way.
