The D'Addario XTAPB1047 gives you the warm, familiar feel of uncoated phosphor bronze strings with the added durability of a coated set. If you've ever wished your acoustic strings lasted longer without sacrificing that natural, broken-in feel, these are worth a look. The .010–.047 Extra Light gauge is comfortable under the fingers and bends easily — a good fit for players who want a lighter touch without going all the way down to a super-light set.
The XT treatment applies a thin, hydrophobic coating to every string in the set — protecting against sweat and humidity without adding the slick, plasticky feel that some coated strings are known for. Under that coating is a hexagonal high-carbon NY Steel core with phosphor bronze round-wound wrap wire. D'Addario's Fusion Twist technology on the plain strings helps keep them in tune and more resistant to breaking at the ball end. These are made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility, with the entire process — from wire drawing to micro-coating — handled in-house.
