D’Addario XTAPB1152 XT Phosphor Bronze strings are a custom light 11-52 set for 6 string acoustic guitar, created for players who want an easy playing feel without losing body or projection. Whether you are a developing guitarist working on fingerstyle patterns or a singer songwriter who strums and picks in equal measure, this set gives you a smooth touch and a warm, articulate voice that sits well in lessons, rehearsals and small gigs. The gauges keep fretting pressure comfortable, help reduce fatigue across long practice sessions, and still deliver enough dynamic range to respond clearly to both a light touch and a confident strum.
Features
Custom light gauge for comfort and control
The 11-52 custom light spread eases fretting and bends while retaining a solid low end, making it a versatile choice for mixed styles. It helps reduce hand strain in long practice or performance, yet still provides the depth and projection needed for strumming, flatpicking and fingerstyle.
XT treatment for longer lasting tone
A refined, low profile protective treatment helps resist sweat and moisture so your strings keep their tone and feel for longer. The coating is designed to be unobtrusive, preserving a natural touch under the fingers while extending the useful life of the set.
Phosphor bronze warmth and clarity
Phosphor bronze wrap wire delivers a pleasing balance of warmth, brightness and overtones, ideal for accompanying vocals and detailed picking. Expect clear fundamentals with musical shimmer, making chord work and melodies speak consistently across the fingerboard.
High carbon steel core with reliable tuning
A strong, high carbon steel core works with precision winding for stable tuning and confident intonation. The design focuses on durability and break resistance at the ball end, helping the set withstand daily tuning changes and energetic playing.
Ready for stage, studio and practice
With balanced feel, extended life and dependable tuning, this set transitions smoothly from home practice to lessons and live use. It is an easy fit for most steel string acoustics and suits a wide range of playing techniques and repertoire.
