XS Acoustic Guitar Strings, Phosphor Bronze, Light, 12-53

I have used many, many different brands of strings over the years and I really feel as though I have found the 'Holy Grail' with these ones. I believe Taylor put them on all of their new guitars as standard now, and I can completely understand why. They last FOR AGES! I play the life out of my guitar and I haven't seen any tarnishing at all. They take no time at all to 'bed in' and stay in tune well. Very easy strings to play, not too hard on the ol' fingers. Value for money as well due to the quality being so high. I genuinely believe if you fitted these to a mediocre or low end guitar, you would improve the sound quality drastically. They have such good tone and really bring my guitar to life.

best strings I have used so far, don't try to be a chad and get high guage... these are genuinely very full sounding, and dont require crazy hand strength to play.

These are the best acoustic strings I've ever tried. Whether phosphor bronze or the 80/20 version. They last waaay longer than non coated strings. They're well worth the extra money. They may cost double, but they last multiple times longer than a standard set of strings, making them far better value for money.

They feel a little weird and sound close to Uncoated strings but obviously not quite. If you want better feeling/sounding strings and you don't mind slightly less string vibrancy over time the other X model will do just fine.

Got an acoustic guitar, then you cannot do better than treating yourself and putting on a set of strings that stay new for longer than any other set. Superb strings that sound wonderful.

Definitely worth the extra money, I bought these ages ago and they sound just as bright as when I bought them. Brilliant strings

better than elixir. not too loud, not too silent. also softer to touch.

For years I have been a D'Addario J16 person. I've had numerous guitars set up for them. However, I saw a talking head on YouTube raving about these strings and decided to try them on a guitar I was having serious doubts about keeping. My goodness, what a transformation! The guitar has gone from being one I avoid to one I pick up first when I have a choice. The strings have created greater volume, a more clear bass (before it sounded muted) and after 4 months have still not dulled (some people in the reviews have used their set for a year or more). All I can say to recommend these strings is that I now like the guitar they are on so much I feel it worthwhile to spend the money to have it set up with these strings, which is an investment of at least £100 or more.

Chegou antes do prazo, não teve taxas extras. Encordoamento top, de qualidade superior. Alguns gostam da Elixir, mas este jogo da D'addario 012-053 XS Phosphor Bronze está me satisfazendo muito bem pela durabilidade, entonação e brilho.

Excellent sounding strings that are easy on the fingers and last forever, but don't have that unpleasant "zing" that most coated strings have.

Very good string together with home delivery within 24h, perfect.

I've been playing acoustic guitar for twenty years. 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.

I tried the XS strings, and boy, do they make a difference! The really bring my Sire to a different level, very nicely balanced and no screeching when you slide your hand up and down the neck.
