XS breathes new life into coated strings.

The microscopically fine film coating on each wrapped string, along with a unique polymer treatment of the plain steel strings, provides XS with maximum protection against unwanted corrosion while delivering exceptional durability and an extraordinarily pleasant playing feel. XS also features a "NY High Carbon Steel" core, which, combined with the exclusive "Fusion Twist" technology, guarantees unparalleled tensile strength and tuning stability. All of this makes XS the most innovative coated string ever made.

A new milestone in coating technology offers maximum protection against sweat and dirt buildup, ensuring lasting sound and extended durability.

An extremely thin coating is wrapped around the string and then fused with it to keep the winding gaps free from dirt while simultaneously creating a pleasantly soft playing feel on the strings.

The legendary D’Addario sound of the strings is preserved by the coating, which dampens the sound less than other coated strings.

By using "NY Steel" for the string cores, XS delivers unmatched tensile strength and tuning stability, further enhanced by our proprietary Fusion Twist technology.

The new XS products utilize our 100% recyclable packaging, including a new resealable VCI bag.
