The D’Addario XS Phosphor Bronze 10–47 coated set redefines acoustic string longevity. An ultra-thin protective XS coating covers the phosphor bronze wrap wire, which means these strings stay vibrant and free of corrosion for far longer than uncoated ones – but you still hear the warm, balanced acoustic tone we’re known for. Inside the wrap, a NY Steel core adds strength and stability. You get the same rich, complex sound of phosphor bronze with the smooth feel of a light gauge.

These extra-light strings make playing effortless: low tension for easy fretting and bending, yet they deliver full, clear resonance. Every chord rings with shimmering highs and robust mids, and the notes sustain beautifully. Because of the XS coating, you can play through more shows and practice sessions without tone loss. 

In short, this set gives you D’Addario’s classic warm acoustic sound combined with unbeatable durability and tuning stability – the ideal choice for performers who want consistency and comfort. Gauges: E4 .010, B3 .014, G3 .023, D3 .030, A2 .039, E2 .047.
