D’Addario XSAPB1152 XS Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - 11-52

The D'Addario XSAPB1152 XS Phosphor Bronze strings combine the beloved warmth and richness of phosphor bronze tone with D'Addario's advanced XS coating technology. This ultra-thin, micro-treatment coating seals out corrosion-causing elements — sweat, humidity, and skin oils — without compromising the natural feel or tone of the string. The result is a coated string that plays and sounds like an uncoated one, lasting significantly longer. Custom light gauge offers a versatile tension that suits both strumming and fingerstyle playing.
