To protect guitar strings from the wear and tear of sweat, dirt, and corrosion, D'Addario developed a novel coating process. The microscopically thin, moisture-repellent coating, which does not affect tone or feel, provides three times longer durability and a sustained comfortable feel. Higher tensile strength and tuning stability also contribute significantly to the long durability of XSABR1253 guitar strings for acoustic guitars.
From the production of the base material to the coating and winding of the strings, D'Addario produces everything in its factory.
