Special coating extends string life dramatically!
Gauges: 12-16-24-32-42-53.
EXP Coated Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings provide longer life and increased durability coupled with the brightness, clarity, and sensitivity you've come to expect from D'Addario strings. Here is how it works: An ultrafine layer of EXP coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound. And since the EXP coating is crosslinked to the wrap wire prior to winding, the strings sound fresh and bright. New-string tone lasts 3 to 4 times longer than traditional guitar strings.
D'Addario is the world's largest manufacturer of strings for musical instruments. Many top guitarists won't play any other brand. Regardless of your playing style, D'Addario has a set that's right for you.
They retain their brilliance long after similar bronze and brass alloy strings go dead. Don't wait for catastrophe, order several sets today.

Ive use DAddario Extended Play strings on both my acoustic and electric guitars. I was an Elixer fan, but they were too expensive & I kept breaking the G string. I don't play hard and there were no peoblems at the nut or the bridge. Problem went away after switching to the EXPs. Now they are the only strings I would buy! If a store doesn't have them...I move on to another or buy from MF. Same great price.

I've been playing guitar for many years - self taught - with playing habits that are very hard on strings. I have a tendency to cut hard at an angle with my pick, generally popping strings after the first gig. I don't have that problem with EXP's. They last - even with my guitar playing style. Highly recommend for people that are hard on strings.

Comments about D'Addario EXP16 Coated Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Guitar Strings:
I occasionally play the acoustic guitar and never gave much attention to the strings mainly for the fact that I never found any that I liked. I put these on and they sound great. The sound is clear and bright just how I have always wanted it. I'll never use any other strings but these on my acoustic.

Comments about D'Addario EXP16 Coated Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Guitar Strings:
I no longer play professionally, but I still pracrice 1-2 hours per day. I use a string cleaner after each session, I dont know for sure if it adds life to the string, but I change the strings after 2-3 months as a matter of course not because the sound flattens or is not as bright. Great set of strings for all types of play.

Comments about D'Addario EXP16 Coated Phosphor Bronze Light Acoustic Guitar Strings:
These strings are the bomb! I have used D'Addario's since my earliest playing days. Over the years I have experimented with several different brands and eventually found myself at home with Elixir Polyweb lights. Recently I had the frets on my guitar (a Fender grand concert) redressed. When I got the guitar back it had been restrung with EXP's which I recall using eight years ago and loved them. Since they were on the guitar, I decided to give them another try. I am glad I did, the tone is great. They speak with a raw and natural voice that is bright, lively and sweet to the ears. EXP's make my guitar sound like an acoustic guitar should. Individual notes speak with a warm, defined and even voice and blend together beautifully when paying chords. They have more punch to them than Elixir's do and the coating doesn't fray after a year like Elixirs do either. D'Addario EXP'16s are probably the most musical strings I have ever used. They respond well to dynamics and the bass response is excellent especially when finger picking. I was able to get eight months out of these strings before I noticed deterioration in tone. I think I have found my strings and I don't see myself using anything else for a while.
