D’Addario EXP16 with NY Steel Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Coated, Light, 12-53
An ultra-fine layer of EXP Coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. EXP coated phosphor bronze strings have a natural round wound feel and sound fresh and bright with a “new string tone” that lasts three to four times longer than traditional guitar strings.

Solid Strings, Great Sound, Long Lasting These are solid strings for acoustic guitar. They have a great sound and I prefer the Phosphor Bronze over the 80/20 strings. I’ve been a fan of D’Addario company for awhile now. I used to play strictly D’Addario strings when I started playing guitar, then I tried every string company I could find including some small companies that let you choose custom sizes and sets where every string is hand wound. Every time, I come back to D’Addario because they make just excellent products. I will…
