An ultra-thin film coating on all winding strings and a proprietary polymer coating treatment for plain strings to protect the strings from dirt and degradation. The latest coating technology and D'Addario's proprietary manufacturing techniques are fused to create an innovative coating string like never before. Ultra thin coating. Uses an ultra-thin ePTFE film that is less than 1/10 the thickness of a hair produced by a breakthrough new coating technology. The winding strings are well protected from dirt and dust and provide long-lasting freshness of the tone. NY Steel D'Addario's proprietary NY Steel (high-carbon steel alloy) is known as the NYXL and XT series strings, providing overwhelming strength and tuning stability compared to traditional strings. Fusion Twist Fusion Twist treatment prevents shifting of tuning caused by loose strings. This gives excellent tuning stability and increased breaking durability. ■Difference between the "XT" series and the "XS" series D'Addario coated strings are available in the "XT" series and "XS" series. The coating structure of XT strings has a special micropolymer coating applied to the winding strings, giving them a more close feel to a non-coated string. The new "XS" series features an ePTFE film that is 1/10 thinner than a micropolymer and is a coating structure that covers the entire string. This product is a Japanese agent.

The tension needed to tune the steel strings to the correct notes EADGBe can rip the bridge off of the instrument. If you're looking to turn your guitalele into a travel guitar, it would be better to at least use nylon strings. D'addario does make a coated classical guitar string set. **Q: Hard playing of mediums phospher/bronze.I get three days (9-10 hours) and lose tuneabilty.Rust is not an issue.Help?** A: I have never had that problem. If you play that hard check your tuners for tightness. These string ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 高価ですがLifeも音色も弾き心地も最高 *by on Reviewed in Japan June 3, 2026* 昨年まではGibsonJ45にギブソン、マーチンなどのコーティングされた弦を使用していましたが同製品を昨年９月に他社から購入して今年の5月まで音色も良く快適に弾いていました。さすがに最近サウンドホール上部付近の弦(一番ピックダメージが大きいところ)のコーティングが剥がれ始めたので今回はAmazonさんに注文しました。Extra lightなので低音はちょっと弱いですが音色も弾き心地も最高な上にLifeが脅威の約9ヶ月(1日1時間程度弾き)持てば大満足です。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ エリクサーが合わない人は試してほしい *by on Reviewed in Japan January 2, 2026* 手汗が多いタイプで、非コーティング弦を使うと、どれだけちゃんと拭いても翌日には錆びてしまいます。定番ということでエリクサーも試しましたが、自分には少し滑りすぎると感じました。コードを押さえづらく、音色も好みではありませんでした。この弦は、エリクサーほど滑らず、指への引っかかりがちょうどいいです。音色もこちらの方が好みで、何より手汗が多くても錆びにくいのがありがたい。正直、探していた条件にすべて当てはまりました。もう一生この弦を使うと思います。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 中高音が綺麗 *by on Reviewed in Japan September 16, 2025* Tylor 114ceに使用中。高中音がとても綺麗な音になってる。また従来の弦と比較して約3倍以上程度もちます。今後も引き続き使用しようと思ってます。 ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1253 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 12-53 Light - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings - XSE1046 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 10-46 Regular Light --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.es/products/740156052-xs-phosphor-bronze](https://www.desertcart.es/products/740156052-xs-phosphor-bronze) --- *Product available on Desertcart Spain* *Store origin: ES* *Last updated: 2026-08-27*
