TONE AND FEEL

A thin, hydrophobic coating protects every string in the set from the corrosive effects of sweat and humidity.

Made with the same high carbon steel found in NYXL and Nickel Bronze, XT strings deliver enhanced break resistance and tuning stability.

From wire drawing to microcoating, we control every aspect of the string making process to ensure every set performs to your standards.

XT strings feature an extended life span treatment that preserves the natural tone and feel of newly made strings.

SONIC

SAY GOODBYE TO SONIC SACRIFICES

Finally, a long life span string that doesn’t sound like it’s been coated. We took inspiration from our EXP innovations to put XT to the test. The result? The harmonics of an XT string ring out just as long and clear as those of an uncoated string.

My go-to set. Best warm tone and power. The coating on the A and E strings does a nice job of keeping the strings smooth under your fingers.
