D’Addario XS Medium Phosphor Bronze Acoustic strings are engineered for players who want maximum tone, durability, and performance without sacrificing natural acoustic feel. Using an ultra-thin XS coating, these strings provide outstanding resistance to corrosion while maintaining the bright, warm character of traditional phosphor bronze.
The medium 13–56 gauge delivers increased volume, projection, and low-end response, making these strings ideal for strumming, flatpicking, and dynamic acoustic playing styles. The coated wrap wire reduces finger noise, enhances tuning stability, and significantly extends string life—perfect for gigging musicians and frequent players.
Built with a NY Steel core for added strength and tuning stability, XS strings retain their tone far longer than uncoated alternatives, even under heavy use. Made in the USA, D’Addario XS Medium Phosphor Bronze strings offer premium performance with a smooth, broken-in feel right out of the pack.
String Gauges: .013, .017, .026w, .035w, .045w, .056w
