D'Addario XT - Coated 80/20 Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings - Custom Light (11-52)

XT Series/Custom Light - 11-52

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.
