OVERVIEW
WHAT IS XS?
XS strings feature anĀ ultra-thin and durable film coating that completely protects the wound strings while the plain steelĀ strings receive our proprietary XT treatment, so all the strings in the set are protected from life-killingĀ corrosion and contaminant build-up.Ā Ā
The coating is so thin that strings ring out the with the clarity and projection similar to an uncoated string.Ā
D'Addario'sĀ NY Steel high-carbon cores in the wound strings and Fusion Twist-technology on all plain steel strings ensures unmatched tuning stability and increased break strength.
All ofĀ this with strings that have a smooth feel and donāt feel greasy or visibly fray like the leading film coated string.

HOW DOES XS COMPARE TO XT?
The X-Series is comprised of two distinct lines... XT utilizes a treated wrap wire, resulting in a natural feel, and XS utilizes a film coating that results in a smooth feel.Ā Ā Each string satisfies a particular need in the market. XT replaces our successful EXP line while XS is targeted to the Elixir users, which up to this point have had no viable alternative.Ā Ā Additionally, there are distinct differences in string life - XT offers extended life (vs. uncoated strings) and XS delivers maximum life (the longest lasting coated stringsĀ on the market). These benefits are also reflected in the price...
