The D'Addario Tone Lives On In Every String

XS is breathing new life into coated strings.

With its ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and unique polymer treatment on the plain steels, XS offers the highest level of protection for maximum life with an uncommonly smooth feel.

XS is the most innovative string ever created.

Ultra-Thin Coating

A tremendous leap forward in coating technology allows the string windings to be completely protected from contaminants for maximum tone and lasting life.

Hex Core Construction

Precision drawn hexagonal core was pioneered by D’Addario.

This innovation allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation.

Fusion Twist Feature

The fusion twist feature prevents slack in the twist from detuning the string. 

This ensures maximum tuning stability and higher break strength for our premium plain steel strings.

NY Steel

NY Steel is processed in D’Addario’s exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York.

Through advanced machinery and processes, our premium high carbon steel drivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.
