Custom Light Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings 3-Pack XSAPB1152-3P
Born from our greatest breakthrough in string innovation, XS Phosphor Bronze strings have the longest life of any D’Addario acoustic guitar string. The XS coating gives our warm, balanced phosphor bronze strings maximum life, with an uncommonly smooth feel. Made with a NY Steel core, phosphor bronze wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, XS coated acoustic guitar strings have incomparable break strength and tuning stability, in addition to their dramatically increased lifespan. 11-52 Custom Light strings have slightly more volume and projection than Extra Light, while still being easy to play.

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."
