I've tried every string I could get my hands on. I usually gravitate toward D'Addario strings. Their standard phosphor bronze strings are what I typically use. The last time I restrung my guitar, I purchased Ernie Ball Earthwood strings at the recommendation of my local music store. I HATED them. From the moment I put them on, my guitar sounded so dead and lifeless. It was like I had put six month old, tarnished strings onto my guitar. Everything was so dull and muted. Cue the D'Addario coated phosphor bronze strings. After that terrible experience, I decided to splurge and buy some "expensive" strings. I knew I liked D'Addario, so I figured I'd like expensive D'Addario too. I had high expectations and I was still blown away by these strings. Night and day compared to the Earthwood strings. My guitar was load and bright and sang so beautifully. From the very first moment I strung them onto my guitar, before it was even tuned, I knew. These were the strings for me. They sound just as good, if not better than the standard D'Addario phosphor bronze strings, but the coating makes them so much more playable. String noise is greatly reduced. The strings are so smooth that my fingers glide up and down the fretboard effortlessly. They've been on my guitar for a few weeks now, and they still look and play like they're brand new. No hint of tarnish anywhere on the strings. At over double the price of the standard phosphor bronze strings, I don't think these would be more cost effective. I don't think I'll get over double the life out of these over a standard set of strings, but the added playability and longevity more than makes up for the price difference to me. I'll probably use these strings for the rest of my life. ## 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 | | Best Sellers Rank | #79 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #8 in Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Body Material | NY Steel | | Color Name | Bronze | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (5,849) | | Date First Available | March 10, 2021 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 1.2 ounces | | Item model number | XSAPB1152 | | Number of Strings | 6 | | Product Dimensions | 0.51 x 4.21 x 4.33 inches | | Size | 1-Pack | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material | Phosphor Bronze | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Color:** Bronze - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String Gauge:** Light - **String Material Type:** Phosphor Bronze ## Images ![Acoustic Guitar Strings, XS Phosphor Bronze Coated, XSAPB1152, Custom Light Gauge 11-52, 6-String Set, Pack of 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71MLTnibwCL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## 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.

Although they are more expensive than the non coated strings, they sound great, last quite a long time comparatively, and have a great feel. The coating allows you to slide seamlessly on the strings and make my fingers less fatigued over hours of playing. They hold their tune very well. For the gauge of the strings, they allow me to have a low action without any fret buzz. I would highly recommend. ## 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.com.kw/products/297014916-acoustic-guitar-strings-xs-phosphor-bronze-coated-xsapb1152-custom-light](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/297014916-acoustic-guitar-strings-xs-phosphor-bronze-coated-xsapb1152-custom-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
