D'Addario XT
A set of strings unlike any you've played before.
D'Addario XT strings combine high carbon steel cores with an advanced corrosion resistance treatment, giving you enhanced break resistance, pitch stability, and long-lasting performance––all while preserving the tone and feel of your favorite uncoated strings. These are strings made to stay, with uncompromising performance that never fades away.
EXTENDED LIFE
A thin, hydrophobic coating protects every string in the set from the corrosive effects of sweat and humidity.
TONE + FEEL THAT LASTS
XT strings feature an advanced corrosion resistance treatment that preserves the natural tone and feel of newly made strings.
RESISTANCE + STABILITY
Made with the same high carbon steel found in NYXL and Nickel Bronze, XT strings deliver enhanced break resistance and tuning stability.
UNCOMPROMISING QUALITY
From wire drawing to micro coating, D'Addario control every aspect of the string making process to ensure every set performs to your standards.
DAMPENING: D'Addario took inspiration from their EXP innovations and put XT to the test. The result? The harmonics of an XT string ring out just as long and clear as those of an uncoated string.
STRENGTH: Maintain the power in your power chords. Strength tests prove that plain steel XT strings are up to 40% stronger than standard strings.
TUNING STABILITY: Maintain the power in your power chords. Strength tests prove that plain steel XT strings are up to 40% stronger than standard strings.
BREAK RESISTANCE: At two whole steps higher, XT strings are still less than 75% of their breaking point. In the same setting, standard strings are at 90% of their full capacity.
