Description
If you love that just-strung sound but hate how fast it fades, EXP10s are built for you. D’Addario takes their 80/20 bronze acoustic set and wraps it in EXP Coated Technology — a micro-thin coating applied to premium wrap wire before it’s wound, so the string still feels and sounds like an uncoated D’Addario, just with a lot more staying power. We’re talking a minimum of 4x the lifespan of standard strings, which means fewer restrings and more time actually playing.
Gauge-wise, this is the extra light 010-047 set (.010, .014 plain steel; .023, .030, .039, .047 bronze wound), D’Addario’s softest touch option. That makes it a great fit for beginners still building finger strength, or for anyone who wants easy bends and a lighter feel under the fingers without giving up projection.
Inside is NY Steel — the same high-carbon core wire used in D’Addario’s NYXL line — giving these strings serious pitch stability and resistance to breakage, even at this lighter gauge. Tone-wise, expect that classic bright top end paired with a full, deep bottom, so strumming and fingerpicking both come through clean.
- Extra light gauge (.010-.047) for easy playability
- EXP Coated 80/20 bronze wrap wire for 4x longer life
- NY Steel core for added strength and tuning stability
- Corrosion-resistant, eco-friendly packaging keeps strings fresh until you open them
- Made in the USA by D’Addario
Grab a set (or a few — they make an easy stocking stuffer) and hear the difference a fresh, long-lasting string makes.
