Light Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings XSABR1253

80/20 Bronze are our brightest acoustic guitar strings, made to give your tone an unparalleled shine. With the addition of our revolutionary XS coating, our bold, bright 80/20 strings obtain maximum life, with an uncommonly smooth feel. Made with a NY Steel core, 80/20 Bronze wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, these coated acoustic guitar strings have enhanced break strength and tuning stability over standard 80/20s, in addition to a dramatically increased lifespan. 12-53 Light strings are our most popular acoustic gauge, providing a nice balance of playability and tone.

EXCEPTIONAL TUNING STABILITY

Spend less time tuning and more time playing. Torture tests prove that fusion twist plain steels stay in tune better than standard strings.


THE D'ADDARIO TONE LIVES ON IN EVERY STRING

"Several years ago, I posed a simple question to our team of engineers and
product designers: Can D'Addario create the world's greatest coated string, bar none?

I am proud to say our team rose to every one of these incredible challenges (and a host of others) and we're launching the new XS coated string."


- JIM D'ADDARIO, Chairman of the Board/Chief Innovation Officer of D'Addario
