I love Ddario xs on my Yamaha fg830! Review: So Good - I've used elixer polyweb custom lights on my larrive rw dread forever, but these XS light plus sound phenomenal! The amount of musical sound and harmonics I hear from the guitar with these on is definitely a step above the elixers, not putting them down it just is what it is. There is more presence and clarity with the XS, and they still feel super smooth. Definitely a good string. ## Features - CORROSION-RESISTANT, EXTENDED LIFE - XS Phosphor Bronze strings have the longest life of any D’Addario acoustic string, with no fraying, peeling, or tonal dampening, thanks to the ultra-thin XS film coating. - WARM, BALANCED TONE - Phosphor Bronze wrap wire provides tried-and-true D’Addario acoustic tone, with beautiful balance and warmth suitable for all musical genres. - STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING - With a NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology, XS Phosphor Bronze offers greater break strength and unmatched tuning stability—staying in tune 131% better than standard acoustic strings. - EARN REWARD POINTS - This XS Phosphor Bronze set comes with a code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – XS coated acoustic strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08VJKVPD6 | | Body Material Type | NY Steel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | Ultra-thin XS film coating | | Coating description | Ultra-thin XS film coating | | Color | Bronze | | Colour | Bronze | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 1,342 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954337605 | | Included Components | Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Type Name | Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 0.04 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | D'Addario & Co. | | Manufacturer Part Number | XSAPB1152 | | Material Type | Bronze | | Model Name | XSAPB1152 | | Model Number | XSAPB1152 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Acoustic Guitar | | Set Name | XSAPB1152 | | Sound Profile | Balanced, Warm | | String Gauge | Custom Light 11-24 | | String Material Type | Alloy Steel | | String gauge | Custom Light 11-24 | | String material type | Alloy Steel | | UPC | 019954337605 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | Replace if Defective | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Bronze - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String gauge:** Custom Light 11-24 - **String material type:** Alloy Steel ## Images ![Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1152 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 11-52 Custom Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MLTnibwCL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I buy the 11/52’s in bulk box 25** A: no **Q: Please can you add the multipack options including the 25 pack option onto Amazon?** A: no, this listing is for a single package of strings **Q: Can these be used on a guitalele, and tuned to eadgbe?** A: It generally is not a good idea to put acoustic (steel) guitar strings on a guitalele, as most ukuleles are built to take either nylon or flourocarbon strings. 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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Easy on my fingers *by B***S on 13 November 2025* I bought 11 because the 12 is hurting my fingers! Now it's easy! I love Ddario xs on my Yamaha fg830! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Good *by D***S on 12 May 2026* I've used elixer polyweb custom lights on my larrive rw dread forever, but these XS light plus sound phenomenal! The amount of musical sound and harmonics I hear from the guitar with these on is definitely a step above the elixers, not putting them down it just is what it is.

Definitely a good string. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hervorragender Klang und lange Haltbarkeit *by H***Z on 12 June 2026* Die D'Addario XS Akustikgitarrensaiten in Phosphorbronze (12–56) haben mich von Anfang an überzeugt. Bereits nach dem Aufziehen fällt der ausgewogene, warme und gleichzeitig brillante Klang auf. Die Saiten liefern satte Bässe, klare Mitten und brillante Höhen, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich die Bespielbarkeit. Trotz der Stärke 12–56 fühlen sich die Saiten angenehm an und ermöglichen ein komfortables Spielgefühl sowohl beim Strumming als auch beim Fingerpicking. Die Stimmung bleibt sehr stabil, selbst nach längeren Spielsessions. Ein großer Pluspunkt ist die spezielle Beschichtung der XS-Serie. Die Saiten behalten ihren frischen Klang deutlich länger als herkömmliche Saiten und zeigen auch bei häufigem Spielen kaum Verschleißerscheinungen. Dadurch spart man sich häufige Saitenwechsel und hat länger Freude am Instrument. Die Verarbeitung ist, wie man es von D'Addario erwartet, erstklassig. Jede Saite wirkt hochwertig gefertigt und lässt sich problemlos aufziehen. Exzellenter Klang, angenehmes Spielgefühl, hervorragende Stimmstabilität und eine beeindruckende Lebensdauer. Für Akustikgitarristen, die Wert auf Qualität und Zuverlässigkeit legen, sind diese Saiten eine klare Empfehlung. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1152 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 11-52 Custom 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.sn/products/342329942-guitar-strings-xs-phosphor-bronze-coated-acoustic-guitar-strings-xsapb1152](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/342329942-guitar-strings-xs-phosphor-bronze-coated-acoustic-guitar-strings-xsapb1152) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
