D Addario XTABR1047 XT 80/20 Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings, 10-.047 Extra Light

Reap the Rewards of Long String Life and Amazing Tone

Made with 80/20 bronze wrap wire, D’Addario’s XT 80/20 Bronze acoustic guitar strings are the brightest in the company’s lineup. Descended from the EXP series, these XT strings offer a bright, lively sound with extra-long life. So, how do they do it? Instead of coating the string after the winding process is finished, D’Addario coats the wrap wire before it’s wound onto the hexagonal NY Steel core. The resulting string feels uncoated but retains the long-lasting life of a coated one. XT strings also offer “fusion twist” plain strings that resist detuning and breaking. With a set of XT 80/20 bronze strings, you’re acoustic guitar will sound its best for a longer time span. 

D'Addario XT Acoustic 80/20 Bronze strings combine the company's most popular acoustic blend with an advanced corrosion-resistant treatment on each string, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings. Available for 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars ranging from extra light to medium.

Ideal for: All Genres, Acoustic Guitar, Fingerstyle

The evolution of XT strings
During their lifespan, EXP strings enjoyed a loyal following here at Sweetwater. Now, EXP strings have leveled up to become XT acoustic guitar strings, the next evolution of D’Addario’s world-renowned treated strings. Each string receives a groundbreaking coating for twice the protection. And since the coating is so thin, each string rings out just as loudly and clearly as an uncoated string does. If you're a fan of EXP strings, then you will love D’Addario XT strings.Inside each roundwound string in this lies an NY Steel hexagonal core — the same as you'll find on a set of your favorite NYXLs. This angular core gives the wrap wire more surface to grab on to, yielding better tone and intonation. Plain steels in this set also feature D'Addario's Fusion Twist technology. This process prevents slack in the twist, resulting in greater resistance against detuning and breaking.
