Pursue your passion with D’Addario’s most popular coated acoustic guitar string set, the EXP16 Coated Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings that deliver the ideal balance of volume, projection and comfortable playability. With EXP coated phosphor bronze strings you get the familiar warm, bright, well balanced acoustic tone of uncoated strings but with 4 times more life. These coated light acoustic guitar strings feature plain steel strings and hexagonal cores made of our revolutionary NY High Carbon Steel. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by D’Addario in New York, this break-resistant, high-carbon steel wire delivers unprecedented strength and pitch stability. Your strings will sound as good at the end of a show as they did during the first set of the night. D’Addario leverages centuries of string-making experience to bring you the most durable, consistent and enduring guitar strings. Made in the USA for the highest quality and performance, only D’Addario strings are sealed inside and out. Unlike other coated strings that are wound then coated, D’Addario strings feature an ultra-fine layer of EXP coating that is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire and then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a barrier against corrosion and a consistent, long-lasting tone. And thanks to the corrosion resistant packaging, the strings are always fresh. The string gauges in this acoustic string set include: Plain Steel .012, .016, Phosphor Bronze Wound .024, .032, .042, .053.
