Description
D’Addario XTAPB1356 XT Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings are a premium medium 13-56 set for acoustic players who want a fuller voice with dependable durability. Suited to strummers, flatpickers and singer songwriters, they add body and projection to dreadnoughts and other full size steel string acoustics. Expect a rich, balanced tone with clear, singing trebles and a firm low end that supports rhythm work and cuts through for melody lines. Whether you play regular gigs, record at home or simply prefer a confident, resistant feel under the fingers, this set delivers consistent performance from the first tune up to the final encore.
Built with D’Addario’s renowned phosphor bronze wrap over a high carbon steel hex core, the XT series applies a subtle protective treatment that resists corrosion while keeping a natural, uncoated feel. You get longer life without a slippery texture, plus impressive tuning stability and break resistance under assertive right hands. Compared with entry level student strings, XT holds its tone for longer between changes, copes better with humidity and temperature swings, and stays in tune through energetic sessions. Precision gauging and even winding promote reliable intonation across the fingerboard for focused chords and articulate picking.
For lessons, rehearsals and daily practice, the XTAPB1356 set offers a familiar medium feel many tutors recommend for full size acoustics, helping learners develop control and dynamic range. The added durability means fewer mid term string changes during a busy school schedule, which keeps maintenance simple and costs predictable. Medium tension provides headroom for strong strumming in ensembles yet still responds well to fingerstyle, making it a versatile choice for graded study and band work alike. With its extended usable life and steady, musical tone, this set represents strong value for students, teachers and gigging players across the UK.
