Ultra-Thin XS Coating
The D’addario XSABR1256 12-56 Acoustic Guitar Strings feature D’Addario’s ultra-thin XS coating, which protects against corrosion and wear. As a result, the strings last significantly longer while maintaining a natural feel and consistent tone.
Enhanced Strength and Stability
Built with a high-carbon NY steel core and Fusion Twist technology, these strings offer excellent break resistance and improved tuning stability. Therefore, you can rely on consistent performance during long sessions or live use.
Light Top / Medium Bottom Gauge
The 12–56 gauge provides a balanced feel. The lighter top strings allow smooth bending, while the heavier bass strings deliver strong low-end response and volume.
