Product Description

80/20 Bronze are our brightest acoustic strings, made to give your guitar an unparalleled shine. With the addition of our XT coating, these 80/20 strings obtain advanced corrosion resistance, resulting in an increased lifespan compared to standard acoustic strings. XT 80/20 Bronze strings are constructed with a NY Steel core, 80/20 bronze wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology which, in addition to lasting longer, allows them to defy breakage and maintain pitch better, all while preserving the bold, bright tone 80/20 is known for. This 11-52 Custom Light gauge set has slightly more volume and projection than Extra Light, while still being easy to play.

TONE AND FEEL

A thin, hydrophobic coating protects every string in the set from the corrosive effects of sweat and humidity.

Made with the same high carbon steel found in NYXL and Nickel Bronze, XT strings deliver enhanced break resistance and tuning stability.

From wire drawing to microcoating, we control every aspect of the string making process to ensure every set performs to your standards.

XT strings feature an extended life span treatment that preserves the natural tone and feel of newly made strings.

SONIC

SAY GOODBYE TO SONIC SACRIFICES

Finally, a long life span string that doesn’t sound like it’s been coated. We took inspiration from our EXP innovations to 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.

I'm a professional entertainer. I play around 100 shows a year and put these strings on my Yamaha Elec acoustic. I'm a rhythm player and lead vocalist. My guitarist suggested I use these. Over a year ago, still have great tone, hold pitch and it's the original set. Not playing any lead solos, I can't remember the last time I broke a string.

Size: Light, 12-53Verified Purchase
Meiner Meinung nach klingen gut eingespielte aber noch frische 80/20er am besten, jedenfalls auf meiner 000 Fichte Mahagoni , und spielen sich weicher als Phosphors , bei den xts ist der zeitraum zwischen eingespielt und alt länger , und das ist war das einzige manko bei 80/20ern, dass der zeiraum relativ kurz ist.
Durch den anderen Stahl für den Kern auch abgesehen vom treament die bessere Saite ( mehr bass , und volumen ) als die normalen 80/20er von daddario.
