If you play a 12-string acoustic, you know string changes can feel like a chore — and uncoated strings tend to go dead fast under all that extra tension and finger contact. D'Addario's XTAPB1047-12 XT Phosphor Bronze set is built specifically for 12-string acoustic guitars, giving you the familiar warmth of phosphor bronze with a coating thin enough that you'll barely know it's there.
The XT treatment is D'Addario's advanced corrosion resistance coating applied to every string in the set. Unlike thicker coatings that can dull response, the XT formula is designed to preserve the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings while significantly extending string life. The core is D'Addario's high carbon NY Steel with Fusion Twist technology — a combination that delivers solid tuning stability and enhanced break resistance, both of which matter a lot when you're managing 12 strings at once. At .010–.047, this is a light gauge set that stays comfortable to play while still producing the full, resonant sound 12-string players are after.
