Review: First-class strings - 80/20 Bronze strings generally do not last as long as Phosphor Bronzes but I bought these to brighten the sound of a guitar that sounds a little dark with PBs. They have done that very well indeed, and, having used D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze previously, I expect them to last far longer than uncoated strings. For twice the price, they may last more than twice as long, like the PBs did. The XS PBs only felt slightly different from the uncoated version. These 80/20s hardly feel coated at all. If you do not much like coated strings, the XS range might be worth a look anyway. I suspect D'Addario have come up with a winner here. Update: these strings have now been on the guitar for four months. It is a backup guitar, so they are only played for a few minutes a day, but that is still a long time to keep a good tone and still be feeling good too. I have also fitted a PB set of XSs on the 12-string, which will save even more time. Review: cool - they are really good and maintain good tone for a long time ## Features - CORROSION-RESISTANT, EXTENDED LIFE: A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the string windings to be completely protected from contaminants for incredibly long-lasting tone & maximum life. - SMOOTH, FAST FEEL: With an ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and our proprietary polymer treatment on the plain steels, XS has a smooth, fast feel, providing an inspiring experiencewith every sweep, slide and bend on every string. - RESEALABLE PACKAGE: XS Acoustic Strings will feature our 100% recyclable packaging including our premium re-sealable VCI bag, so every set is kept factory fresh until you’re ready to experience the ultimate upgrade in tone, feel, life, and tuning stability. - STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING: Incredible strength with NY Steel at its core. XS offers greater break strength and unmatched tuning stability, enhanced by our proprietary Fusion Twist technology and reduced friction at the nut and bridge. Tune less, play more. - BRIGHT TONE: 80/20 Bronze are our brightest acoustic guitar strings, made to give your tone an unparalleled shine. With the addition of our revolutionary XS coating, our bold, bright 80/20 strings obtain maximum life, with an uncommonly smooth feel. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B3Z5DJMZ | | Best Sellers Rank | 3,495 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 165 in Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Bronze | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | XS Coating | | Coating description | XS Coating | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 478 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Included Components | Protective Bag | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Highlight | XS coated acoustic strings deliver maximum life, smooth feel, tuning stability and bright 80/20 bronze tone. | | Item Type Name | D'Addario 12-53 Light, XS 80/20 Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 15 Grams | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Manufacturer Part Number | XSABR1253 | | Material Type | Bronze | | Model Name | D'Addario 12-53 Light, XS 80/20 Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Model Number | XSABR1253 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Warranty | Not applicable. | | Recommended Uses For Product | Acoustic Guitar | | Set Name | D'Addario us xs/asia | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Bronze | | String gauge | Light | | String material type | Bronze | | UPC | 019954371289 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Black - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String gauge:** Light - **String material type:** Bronze ## Images ![XS 80/20 Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings XSABR1253, 12-53 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61AS8G1rciL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ First-class strings *by M***D on 19 November 2024* 80/20 Bronze strings generally do not last as long as Phosphor Bronzes but I bought these to brighten the sound of a guitar that sounds a little dark with PBs.
