D'Addario XS series
Innovation in every note!
The strings from the D'Addario XS series are the most innovative strings ever developed. They offer you an unbeatable combination of tuning stability, unadulterated sound and natural feel. In addition, the strings promise the longest durability ever achieved. Thanks to various modern technologies, the XS series represents a significant advance in guitar string development.
Like all D'Addario string series, the XS strings are available in various gauges, material blends and for different instruments, such as acoustic and electric guitar, as well as mandolin.
Innovation & technology
The XS series benefits from D'Addario's continuous innovation and modern technologies in string manufacturing. As a result, they guarantee high tensile strength, better tuning stability and probably the longest service life compared to standard strings or most coated strings from other manufacturers. The ultra-thin XS coating allows your fingers to glide over the strings ultra-light and super-soft without muting the sound. Thanks to the innovative polymer coating technique, in which the wire is coated before it is wound into a string, the string is better protected against corrosion because sweat and dirt can no longer penetrate the tiny spaces between the windings. In addition, D'Addario also coats the thin E and B strings to ensure even wear.
Under the winding, the XS strings rely on the proven NY Steel core, Hex Core and Fusion Twist technologies, which offer tonal versatility with added elasticity and are ideal for a variety of acoustic styles.
NY-Steel
XS strings are made from NY-Steel, a high-strength carbon steel processed at D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York.
Hex-Core
Hex Core technology, where the winding wire wraps around the core, provides superior dimensional stability and precise intonation.
Fusion-Twist
Fusion Twist technology prevents the wire from loosening in the twist, resulting in maximum tuning stability and higher breaking strength.
