D'Addario XTAPB1152 XT Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - .011-.052 Custom Light Reviews
Do you wish the strings on your acoustic guitar lasted longer? A set of D’Addario XT strings seeks to grant your wish. These acoustic guitar strings are made from the company’s wildly popular phosphor bronze alloy and provide the durability of a coated string with the feel of a non-coated string. The secret is D’Addario’s Fusion Twist technology and proprietary extended lifespan treatment that applies their thinnest and most durable coating to each string, which prevents corrosion without interfering with their natural feel. XT strings provide a bold sound and an incredible tuning stability that will last through multiple sweaty gigs. If you want your acoustic to sound better than ever before, then try out D’Addario XT strings from Sweetwater.
Amazing
Put these on my Taylor 314ce, my favorite, slick, long lasting, hold tuning, best strings I have used.
Top Notch
Very long time guitarist and tech...I've found these strings to be among the very best for tone and durability. The price is a bit high, but even with constant use, they maintain their brilliance and tonal texture as well as asthetic appearance.
Great strings
I have been playing guitar for years and was using ernie balls 80/20 for my acoustic. Never again will I. Simply put these offer more sustain and a mellow/warm tone.I still enjoy 80/20 bronze for certain songs which tend to be more brighter but in terms of projection also the crisp and and warm sound while fingerpluckjng and more mid and treble sound while strumming these strings are well worth the extra money. Also you can't feel the coating to me they feel as if regular strings but easier to play and from my experience they really do last a long time.
Feel and tone
I love these strings. I am used to 12 and 13 ga. in various brands. I used them because, this is what I have always used.. for 30 years.. it was just what I knew to be good strings. Good utility everyday strings.. Since using the 11 XT.. I have played more, sounded better and have played better! The change did take a couple hours of playing to get used to, but I will never go back.. I am an 11 Ga. believer now and I will remain such for possibly another 30 years! My Martin HD 28 sings and has a new chime... I am sold.... A fanboy if you wish, I am not ashamed! try them!
These strings are awesome!
I suppose these XT strings have been on the market for over a year by now, but I made a temporary switch to Ernie Balls for acoustic strings during that time. That being said, these kick some butt. I eventually quit using D'addario EXP strings because of the coated feeling, but these strike a nice balance in feel and sound between those EXP strings and the uncoated Ernie Balls (which sound and feel authentic af and awesome, but wear out insanely fast). If you haven't given these a try, they're definitely worth buying at least a pack! They're different enough from Elixirs and the old D'addario EXP's to warrant giving a shot, in my opinion.
