D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1152 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 11-52 Custom Light

These D’Addario XS Phosphor Bronze strings have completely won me over. Right out of the package, they felt smooth and played beautifully. The tone is warm and balanced—perfect for everything from fingerstyle to strumming.What really impressed me is how long they last. The ultra-thin coating protects without dulling the sound, and after weeks of regular playing, there's no fraying or loss of tone. Plus, they stay in tune exceptionally well thanks to the NY Steel core and Fusion Twist tech.The resealable packaging is a nice touch, and the Players Circle points are an incredible bonus. Made in the USA and clearly made with care—I'll definitely be sticking with these!

Move over Elixer!I’ve been playing Elixers custom light for 20+ years, these sound and feel better. A little more expensive but they have the player points. I will be buying these again!

Over the last 30 yrs I've bought nearly every brand of string there is, and most are great, some are excellent, and these are the upper end of excellent in my personal opinion. I used to use Elixirs (and I still like them) but I've been solely using D'addario XS coated strings for several years now and I've never looked back. They feel SO good, slippery enough yet dry, unlike when you use something like Fast Fret which gets your fingers a little oily. These strings have that slick feel simply from the coating, and even the non-wound strings are slick and stay that way, they don't get corroded and coarse feeling, just wonderful. And these things last forever, even on acoustics the sound stays crisp, unless you use a metal pick.

WOW! First time trying these strings, and they are AWESOME. I put them on an old hummingbird dreadnought guitar, and I just love the tones. Strings produce great sound volume without forfeiting highs or lows, or sounding like an airport.Best strings I've personally experienced.

At first I thought… why are these strings so dang expensive? I been using high-quality Martin strings for less than half the price. I needed new strings so I thought I would give these a shot and I have to say they are the best strings I’ve ever had on my Taylor mini GS. They feel great and they sound awesome.

This is a great guitar company, the string quality is good although the tone is not as crisp as others I've tried ,for example the nano elixer strings which I find to be clearer and more comfortable. However, if we speak of non coated electric guitar strings, the NYXL are the world best guitar strings in my opinion. Don't get me wrong these are good guitar strings but I find the elixir coated strings a little bit clearer.

Amazing strings. Sound excellent on a smaller body guitar like my Baby Taylor.Definitely prefer the Elixer Nanowebs on The Grand Auditorium though. Nothing compares thus far.

Perfect strings, fantastic quality. I will buy again.
