Review: Erstklassige Akustikgitarrensaiten mit brillantem Klang - Die D'Addario XS Akustikgitarrensaiten in der Light-Stärke 12–53 haben mich voll überzeugt. Direkt nach dem Aufziehen begeistern sie mit einem klaren, ausgewogenen und angenehm warmen Klang. Die Höhen sind brillant, die Mitten präsent und die Bässe kraftvoll, ohne dabei aufdringlich zu wirken. Besonders gut gefällt mir das angenehme Spielgefühl. Die Light-Stärke bietet eine hervorragende Balance zwischen komfortabler Bespielbarkeit und vollem Klang, sodass sowohl Akkordspiel als auch Fingerpicking viel Freude machen. Ein großer Vorteil der XS-Serie ist die lange Haltbarkeit. Die spezielle Beschichtung schützt die Saiten zuverlässig und sorgt dafür, dass sie ihren frischen Klang deutlich länger behalten als viele herkömmliche Saiten. Auch die Stimmstabilität ist hervorragend – nach kurzer Einspielzeit halten die Saiten die Stimmung sehr zuverlässig. Die Verarbeitung ist erstklassig und entspricht der hohen Qualität, die man von D'Addario erwartet. Der Saitenwechsel gelingt problemlos und das Ergebnis überzeugt sofort. Hervorragender Klang, angenehme Bespielbarkeit, hohe Stimmstabilität und beeindruckende Langlebigkeit. Für Akustikgitarristen eine ausgezeichnete Wahl und eine klare Kaufempfehlung! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review: Primera cuerda rota al colocarla - Se rompió la primera cuerda al momento de afinarla con guitar tuna, tuve que comprar otra cuerda ## Features - CORROSION-RESISTANT, EXTENDED LIFE - XS Phosphor Bronze strings have the longest life of any D’Addario acoustic string, with no fraying, peeling, or tonal dampening, thanks to the ultra-thin XS film coating. - WARM, BALANCED TONE - Phosphor Bronze wrap wire provides tried-and-true D’Addario acoustic tone, with beautiful balance and warmth suitable for all musical genres. - STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING - With a NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology, XS Phosphor Bronze offers greater break strength and unmatched tuning stability—staying in tune 131% better than standard acoustic strings. - EARN REWARD POINTS - XS Phosphor Bronze sets come with a code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – XS coated acoustic strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B08VJKZ8PK | | Body Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | ultra-thin XS film coating | | Coating description | ultra-thin XS film coating | | Color | Bronze | | Colour | Bronze | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,888 Reviews | | Finish Type | Bronze Plated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954337612 | | Included Components | Guitar Strings and VCI Bag with Code | | Instrument | Acoustic Guitar | | Item Type Name | Acoustic Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 1.3 Ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario & Co. | | Manufacturer Part Number | XSAPB1253 | | Material Type | Steel | | Model Name | XSAPB1253 | | Model Number | XSAPB1253 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Acoustic Guitar | | Set Name | D'Addario XS Acoustic Guitar Strings, Phosphor Bronze, Light, 12-53 | | Sound Profile | Warm, balanced | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Phosphor Bronze | | String gauge | Light | | String material type | Phosphor Bronze | | UPC | 019954337612 | | Warranty Description | Replace if Defective | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Bronze - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String gauge:** Light - **String material type:** Phosphor Bronze ## Images ![Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1253 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 12-53 Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/710fk7hZJFL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I buy the 11/52’s in bulk box 25** A: no **Q: Please can you add the multipack options including the 25 pack option onto Amazon?** A: no, this listing is for a single package of strings **Q: Can these be used on a guitalele, and tuned to eadgbe?** A: It generally is not a good idea to put acoustic (steel) guitar strings on a guitalele, as most ukuleles are built to take either nylon or flourocarbon strings. The tension needed to tune the steel strings to the correct notes EADGBe can rip the bridge off of the instrument. If you're looking to turn your guitalele into a travel guitar, it would be better to at least use nylon strings. D'addario does make a coated classical guitar string set. **Q: Hard playing of mediums phospher/bronze.I get three days (9-10 hours) and lose tuneabilty.Rust is not an issue.Help?** A: I have never had that problem. If you play that hard check your tuners for tightness.
