The D'Addario XTAPB1152 is a set of coated phosphor bronze acoustic guitar strings in Custom Light gauge (.011–.052). They're built for players who want their strings to last longer without giving up the warm, natural tone and feel of traditional uncoated strings.
At the core of each string is D'Addario's NY Steel — a high carbon steel used across their most durable string lines — wound with phosphor bronze wrap wire for well-balanced acoustic tone. What sets the XT series apart is the extended lifespan treatment: a thin corrosion-resistance coating applied to every string in the set. Combined with Fusion Twist technology, these strings offer enhanced break resistance and tuning stability well beyond a standard uncoated set.
Custom Light gauge (.011–.052) sits between extra-light and light, offering a comfortable feel with a bit more body than the lightest gauges — a practical choice for fingerpicking and lighter flatpicking styles alike. These strings are made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility.
