But they are nice and sound great Review: First-class strings - 80/20 Bronze strings generally do not last as long as Phosphor Bronzes but I bought these to brighten the sound of a guitar that sounds a little dark with PBs. They have done that very well indeed, and, having used D'Addario XS Phosphor Bronze previously, I expect them to last far longer than uncoated strings. For twice the price, they may last more than twice as long, like the PBs did. The XS PBs only felt slightly different from the uncoated version. These 80/20s hardly feel coated at all. If you do not much like coated strings, the XS range might be worth a look anyway. I suspect D'Addario have come up with a winner here. Update: these strings have now been on the guitar for four months. It is a backup guitar, so they are only played for a few minutes a day, but that is still a long time to keep a good tone and still be feeling good too. I have also fitted a PB set of XSs on the 12-string, which will save even more time. ## Features - Smooth and Durable: These bold, bright 80/20 Bronze acoustic strings feature a game-changing XS coating, our highest level of protection from contaminants for a smooth, fast feel, long-lasting tone and maximum life - Tune Less, Play More: With NY Steel at their core, XS strings offer greater break strength and unmatched tuning stability enhanced by our proprietary Fusion Twist technology and reduced friction at the nut and bridge - Strings for Every Style: From jazz to metal to rock, bluegrass, blues, folk and more, we make great sounding strings for every genre and level from beginner to pro, including strings for bass, acoustic, classical, and 12-string - Sound Better, Play Better: Shop our whole collection of guitar accessories including string winders, picks, straps, capos, tuners, cables, gear bags and cases, plus strings for banjo, mandolin, ukelele and more - Made in the USA: As the world’s largest and most respected maker of musical accessories, D’Addario guitar strings are made to exacting specifications at our cutting edge New York production facility ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0B3Z84WQX | | Best Sellers Rank | 954 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 64 in Guitar Strings | | Body Material | Bronze | | Colour | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (946) | | Date First Available | 8 July 2022 | | Item Weight | 1.8 g | | Item model number | XSABR1152 | | Material Type | Bronze | | Size | Custom Light, 11-52 | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material | Bronze | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Black - **Instrument:** Acoustic Guitar - **String gauge:** Light - **String material type:** Bronze ## Images ![D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS 80/20 Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSABR1152 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 11-52 Custom Light - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61LxjJJKT9L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Too heavy for me *by J***S on 3 November 2025* I should have got a lighter gauge .
