D'Addario XT - Natural Feel, Unnatural Lifespan!

D'Addario XT - our new, revolutionary, corrosion-resistant strings are coated with a microscopic fine layer that enhances tone retention, tuning stability, and lifespan without altering the sound and feel of uncoated strings. NEVER FADE AWAY - for an unforgettable performance.

Tone Retention & Feel of Uncoated Strings

D'Addario's new microscopic coating process preserves the sound and feel of fresh strings.

Break Resistance + Tuning Stability

Just like the NYXL or Nickel Bronze strings, the XT series is made from D'Addario's "NY High Carbon Steel" and delivers improved break resistance as well as tuning stability.

Extended Lifespan on All Six Strings

D'Addario's microscopic fine coating on all six strings protects your set from unwanted corrosion caused by sweat or moisture.

Uncompromising Quality

From raw material production through coating to winding, everything is made in-house by D'Addario at their factory in New York—ensuring every single set meets your expectations.

XT 80/20 Bronze - The Acoustic Strings

The XT 80/20 bronze strings for acoustic guitars consist of our bright acoustic alloy and are specially treated for longer lifespan while preserving the natural sound and feel of uncoated strings. Available for 6 and 12-string acoustics in gauges ranging from extra light to medium, suitable for various playing styles and preferences.

D'Addario XT strings feature a high-carbon steel core treated for extended lifespan. You benefit from increased break resistance, tuning stability, and long-lasting performance—with the same feel as uncoated strings. These strings deliver on their promise: long-lasting, consistent performance.
