D'Addario XSAPB1047 XS Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Extra Light, 10-47

The D'Addario XSAPB1047 is an Extra Light gauge (10–47) XS coated phosphor bronze acoustic guitar string set — D'Addario's longest-lasting acoustic guitar string, born from their greatest breakthrough in string innovation. Combining a NY Steel hex core, phosphor bronze wrap wire, Fusion Twist technology, and D'Addario's ultra-thin XS coating, the XSAPB1047 delivers warm, balanced phosphor bronze tone with dramatically extended lifespan, superior tuning stability, and an uncommonly smooth feel. Easy to play and easy to bend.

XS Coating — Maximum Lifespan

D'Addario's XS ultra-thin film coating extends string life far beyond uncoated strings — making the XSAPB1047 the longest-lasting acoustic guitar string D'Addario produces. The XS coating is applied so thinly that it preserves the natural, warm tone and smooth feel of phosphor bronze, without the thick, artificial feel associated with conventional coated strings. A unique polymer treatment on the plain steel strings provides additional protection while maintaining a natural feel under the fingers.

NY Steel Hex Core — Superior Intonation & Stability

The NY Steel hex core is D'Addario's proprietary high-carbon steel, drawn to exacting tolerances for superior intonation consistency and tuning stability. The hex shape ensures the wrap wire grips firmly and consistently along the full length of the string, maintaining even tone and feel from set to set.

Fusion Twist Technology

D'Addario's Fusion Twist technology reinforces the string at the ball end — the point of maximum stress — dramatically improving break strength and tuning stability. Strings stay in tune faster after installation and hold their pitch more reliably during aggressive playing and bending.

Phosphor Bronze Wrap Wire

Phosphor bronze wrap wire produces the warm, balanced acoustic tone that has made it the most popular acoustic guitar string material worldwide. The phosphor content slows oxidation, extending string life even further when combined with the XS coating.

Extra Light Gauge — Maximum Playability

The Extra Light 10–47 gauge offers the lowest tension in the XS Phosphor Bronze range — ideal for players with a lighter touch, beginners building finger strength, fingerstyle players, and those playing on vintage or parlour guitars where lower string tension is preferred. The reduced tension makes bending and fretting effortless while still delivering a warm, balanced phosphor bronze tone.
