Daddario XSABR1047

D'Addario's XS film coating is ten times finer than human hair, while still effectively protecting the strings from residue and changing temperatures. The coating is imperceptible to the touch, with a playing feel that is incredibly smooth and a sound typical for strings with an 80/20 bronze wrap – both bright and balanced. The core's hexagonal shape (which is another D'Addario innovation) results in perfect contact between core and wrap wire, which is an alloy of 80% copper and 20% zinc. These D'Addario XSABR1047 strings can be used more or less universally, guaranteeing both finger-pickers and plectrum-style players a great sound from the very first chord.

In the world of stringed instruments, D'Addario is one of the largest manufacturers of strings themselves. The origins of the brand date back to 17th century Italy, but production was moved to New York in 1905 and even today, the brand's strings are still made and further developed in the USA. D'Addario now offers something for every need, from simple and low-priced strings to coated models and Hex-core strings. Apart from strings, the range has been expanded to include various accessories for guitarists, and other brands such as Planet Waves, Evans, Rico, and Pro Mark, which manufacture accessories for various groups of instruments, now also belong to D’Addario.
