Daddario XS Phosphor Bronze XSAPB1353 Hybrid Light Set, 13-53

Born from our greatest breakthrough in string innovation, XS Phosphor Bronze strings have the longest life of any D'Addario acoustic guitar string. The XS coating gives our warm, balanced phosphor bronze strings maximum life, with an uncommonly smooth feel. Made with a NY Steel core, phosphor bronze wrap wire and Fusion Twist technology, XS coated acoustic guitar strings have incomparable break strength and tuning stability, in addition to their dramatically increased lifespan. 13 - 53 Hybrid Light is a unique combination of Light and Medium gauges, using light tension strings on the bottom and medium on top for added projection.

Ultra-Thin Coating
A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the strings to be completely protected from contaminants for lasting tone and maximum life.

Hex Core Construction
Precision drawn hexagonal core was pioneered by D'Addario. This innovation allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation.

Fusion Twist Feature
The fusion twist feature prevents slack in the twist from detuning the string. This ensures maximum tuning stability and higher break strength for out premium plain steel strings.

NY Steel
NY Steel is processed in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York. Through advanced machinery and processes, our premium high carbon steel delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.
