help D'Addario XT FAQ

What makes D'Addario XT strings different from standard strings?

D'Addario XT strings feature an advanced, ultra-thin treatment that provides an extra layer of protection against corrosion and sweat. Unlike coated strings of the past, this process preserves the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings.

Do D'Addario XT strings last longer than standard phosphor bronze strings?

Yes, the working musician will find that these strings maintain their structural integrity and bright tone significantly longer than standard phosphor bronze strings. They are specifically engineered to withstand heavy use and harsh environments.

Are D'Addario XT strings coated?

While they are treated for corrosion resistance, D'Addario does not use the heavy plastic coating found on older generations of coated strings. Instead, the XT series uses a high-carbon steel core with a microscopic treatment to keep them feeling natural.

What tone can I expect from D'Addario XT acoustic guitar strings?

These strings offer a remarkably balanced tone, blending the bright projection of 80/20 bronze with the warmth of phosphor bronze. Because they resist grime buildup, they maintain this clear, vibrant sound for many weeks of playing.
