XS Acoustic Guitar Strings, Phosphor Bronze, Light, 12-53 | XS Phosphor Bronze acoustic strings deliver warm tone, long-lasting performance, tuning stability, and comfort.

Great strings. Sound excellent and kind to fingers

I have used many, many different brands of strings over the years and I really feel as though I have found the 'Holy Grail' with these ones. I believe Taylor put them on all of their new guitars as standard now, and I can completely understand why. They last FOR AGES! I play the life out of my guitar and I haven't seen any tarnishing at all. They take no time at all to 'bed in' and stay in tune well. Very easy strings to play, not too hard on the ol' fingers. Value for money as well due to the quality being so high. I genuinely believe if you fitted these to a mediocre or low end guitar, you would improve the sound quality drastically. They have such good tone and really bring my guitar to life.

Excellent strings. Nice, clear phosphor bronze tone without being harsh, and the feel is smooth under the fingers. They hold tuning well and seem to stay fresh longer than standard sets. Great choice for 11–52.

These are the fully coated strings, as opposed to the black packaged ones that have coated wires. This means they clean easier and collect less crudge. Longevity should be similar as corrosion protection is the same. They look like Elixir, sound similar to similarly specced Elixir and are about the same price. I prefer the feel of Elixir though as I slide and slur strings. That said, if and when the price drops to give them an advantage, I might look again.

D'Addario strings have been my "go to" as since late 70s. Their acoustic guitar strings have been under my fingers on a variety of guitars mid range to premium. Always sound great. I did wander to other brands occasionally (usually guitar brands own) but these are my favourites. They "stretch" and stabilise quicksmart. Vfm.

D'Addario strings are always my go-to choice. Quality build and appearance, and they always last an impressively long time, which makes them worth the extra cost. This was their usual quality: stylish packaging, easy to distinguish string gauges, even though all strings are in the single packet.

When I bought my Taylor 324 (Builder's Edition) I was recommended to use D'Addario Lights. However, I found them a bit heavy and so tried these - just one gauge lighter. I find that they are excellent. Still fantastic tone and great for staying in tune. Not the cheapest strings on the market, but close to the best in my opinion - I've been playing for 62 years!

these are really nice strings to play with and they do bend quite easily if that's what you require for some melodies.

Best strings. Sounds awesome and crisp

I've used elixer polyweb custom lights on my larrive rw dread forever, but these XS light plus sound phenomenal! The amount of musical sound and harmonics I hear from the guitar with these on is definitely a step above the elixers, not putting them down it just is what it is. There is more presence and clarity with the XS, and they still feel super smooth. Definitely a good string.

Die D'Addario XS Akustikgitarrensaiten in Phosphorbronze (12–56) haben mich von Anfang an überzeugt. Bereits nach dem Aufziehen fällt der ausgewogene, warme und gleichzeitig brillante Klang auf. Die Saiten liefern satte Bässe, klare Mitten und brillante Höhen, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Bespielbarkeit. Trotz der Stärke 12–56 fühlen sich die Saiten angenehm an und ermöglichen ein komfortables Spielgefühl sowohl beim Strumming als auch beim Fingerpicking. Die Stimmung bleibt sehr stabil, selbst nach längeren Spielsessions. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist die spezielle Beschichtung der XS-Serie. Die Saiten behalten ihren frischen Klang deutlich länger als herkömmliche Saiten und zeigen auch bei häufigem Spielen kaum Verschleißerscheinungen. Dadurch spart man sich häufige Saitenwechsel und hat länger Freude am Instrument. Die Verarbeitung ist, wie man es von D'Addario erwartet, erstklassig. Jede Saite wirkt hochwertig gefertigt und lässt sich problemlos aufziehen. Exzellenter Klang, angenehmes Spielgefühl, hervorragende Stimmstabilität und eine beeindruckende Lebensdauer. Für Akustikgitarristen, die Wert auf Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit legen, sind diese Saiten eine klare Empfehlung.

I finally gave these strings a try a few months ago to see if the hype was worth it. I never cared much for Elixrs and the Martin SP's were ok but for the price dulled out sooner than I'd prefer. I've used Martin Monels and John Peasrse strings almost exclusively on my spruce/mahogany backed guitars for years and I can say that these strings are fantastic for that wood mix. They play well and last a fair bit (depending how much you play and for me it's a lot). These were on a cyber sale so I decided to pick up a few packs to keep the stocks well supplied. I always tell people who are looking for the best strings for a particular guitar etc. that there is no such thing and you need to try lots and go with what you prefer. These I think would fit the bill for most players and get you good bang for your buck especially if you aren't gigging or playing multiple times a week.

Excellent jeu de cordes pour guitare acoustique.
