Description
D’Addario XTAPB1047 XT Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are an extra light 10-47 set designed for players who want an easy feel with a bright, musical acoustic tone. Perfect for beginners, casual strummers and fingerstyle players, the reduced tension makes fretting and bending more comfortable, helping you play longer with less fatigue. The balanced gauge works well on smaller body acoustics and electro acoustic guitars, delivering crisp highs with a warm, rounded low end that suits practice, performance and home recording. If you enjoy a responsive touch and clear projection without a heavy feel, this set offers a smooth route to a confident, inspiring sound.
Built with phosphor bronze windings over a high carbon steel hex core, these strings combine strength and tuning stability with the classic warmth and shimmer players love. D’Addario’s XT treatment protects against sweat and humidity while preserving a natural, uncoated feel under the fingers, so you get extended life and consistent intonation without a slick sensation. Compared with basic student sets, the precision winding and protective finish provide steadier tuning, clearer note definition and fewer string changes, saving time and money. Colour coded ball ends make fitting fast and straightforward at home or before a gig.
For UK tuition and school use, the extra light tension encourages clean fretting at early stages and supports younger hands as technique develops. The longer lasting coating suits busy practice schedules and classroom environments, keeping tone fresh between lessons and reducing the need for frequent replacements. Standard ball ends ensure broad compatibility with the steel string acoustics commonly used in lessons and ensembles, and the even response fits strumming, melody work and graded study. Whether refreshing a classroom guitar, preparing for exams or seeking dependable everyday value, XTAPB1047 delivers accessible playability with a reliable, musical voice.
