Daddario XSABR1047

I've tried countless acoustic strings over the years, but the D’Addario XSABR1047 truly stand out. These coated phosphor bronze strings deliver a rich, warm tone right out of the box, with brilliant clarity across all six strings. What impresses me most is how long the tone lasts – weeks of consistent sound without going dull.

The coating is ultra-thin and smooth, making them feel almost like uncoated strings. No squeak, no stickiness – just a silky playing experience. Bending and fingerpicking both feel effortless, especially with the light gauge (10-47), which is ideal for delicate acoustic work or players with a lighter touch.

On top of that, D’Addario’s packaging and build quality are second to none. You can tell these strings were made with care.

Highly recommended for anyone who wants premium acoustic strings with the perfect balance of tone, longevity, and playability. I’ll definitely be sticking with XS from now on!
