Premium Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - Light Top/Medium Bottom 12-56

Experience rich acoustic tone with extended lifespan using D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings 12-56. This light top/medium bottom gauge combines easy playability on the high strings with powerful bass response, all protected by D'Addario's ultra-thin XS coating for up to 4x longer string life without sacrificing the warm, bright tone phosphor bronze is famous for.

XS Coating Technology - Maximum Lifespan

XS strings feature D'Addario's thinnest coating ever applied to every wound and plain string in the set. This ultra-thin, polymer treatment protects against corrosion from sweat, humidity, and skin oils without affecting tone or feel. Unlike thicker coatings that can feel slippery or dull, XS strings maintain the bright, natural tone and tactile response of uncoated phosphor bronze strings while lasting up to 4 times longer.

Light Top/Medium Bottom 12-56 - Versatile Hybrid Gauge

The 12-56 hybrid gauge is perfect for players who want comfortable playability on the high strings combined with powerful, full-bodied bass response. The lighter top strings (12-16) make fretting and bending easier, while the heavier bottom strings (24-32-42-56) deliver rich, resonant low-end perfect for flatpicking, fingerstyle, and strumming. The XS coating ensures this balanced tone lasts 4x longer than uncoated strings.
