Review: The Best Strings I've Tried - I've been playing guitar for 30+ years and I've tried pretty much every brand of strings in that time. My default brand for most of that was Elixir Polyweb 80/20 Bronze and these strings are superior to those. Unlike the polywebs, which sound a little artificial at first until you break them in, these sound great on day one and really open up after about a week (10-20 hours of playing). And unlike the nanowebs, the coating on these seems to last much longer. While these strings are expensive, you'd have to buy 3 packs of non-coated strings to match their longevity. So they are actually cheaper than regular stings in the long run. Another benefit is the steel core in these strings makes them way stronger than other strings, which is important if you change tunings often as they are much less likely to break when tuning back up to standard. Also, these strings feel really good on the fingers and don't generate much fret noise at all. They are a joy to play on and are less likely to make your fingers sore after long sessions of playing. Lastly, the sound of these strings is really balanced. Some strings have way more high end or low end, but these are really even sounding with good, rich bass and clear highs that don't sound too harsh with treble. Note, I've only used the 80/20 bronze version of these. I prefer that sound to the phosphor bronze, but I assume those are equally good. Long story short, these D 'Addario XS strings are my new default and what I'll compare all other stings to from here on out.
Review: Great strings love the Phosphorus coating. - nice sound on both guitars a 1965 Yanaha FG 180 and a seagull maple body. Both sound great and seldom need to have tuning corrected. Also, easy playing for an elder with less finger calluses than I had forty-five years ago!

## Features

- CORROSION-RESISTANT, EXTENDED LIFE: A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the string windings to be completely protected from contaminants for incredibly long-lasting tone & maximum life.
- SMOOTH, FAST FEEL: With an ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and our proprietary polymer treatment on the plain steels, XS has a smooth, fast feel, providing an inspiring experiencewith every sweep, slide and bend on every string.
- RESEALABLE PACKAGE: XS Acoustic Strings will feature our 100% recyclable packaging including our premium re-sealable VCI bag, so every set is kept factory fresh until you’re ready to experience the ultimate upgrade in tone, feel, life, and tuning stability.
- STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING: Incredible strength with NY Steel at its core. XS offers greater break strength and unmatched tuning stability, enhanced by our proprietary Fusion Twist technology and reduced friction at the nut and bridge. Tune less, play more.
- BRIGHT TONE: 80/20 Bronze are our brightest acoustic guitar strings, made to give your tone an unparalleled shine. With the addition of our revolutionary XS coating, our bold, bright 80/20 strings obtain maximum life, with an uncommonly smooth feel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing!
*by C***Y on November 10, 2025*

I use these strings on my Taylor Grand Theater and they bring an amazing guitar to life. I adore these strings. I don’t have any other strings to gauge them against because why would I try anything else when these are perfect? I don’t get to play as often as I would like, but I can always depend on these strings to sound amazing and stay in tune.
