Description
If you’re tired of watching your tone die out a week after restringing, EXP11 is the fix. D’Addario takes their most popular 80/20 bronze light gauge and wraps it in an ultra-thin EXP coating, bonded right over the wrap wire before it’s wound onto a hex core. The payoff: that crisp, ringing bronze attack you love, minus the fast fade from sweat, grime, and air exposure.
These aren’t a muted “coated string” compromise – D’Addario built EXP to feel and sound just like their standard uncoated acoustic sets, just with 3-4 times the lifespan. You get the same round-wound feel under your fingers, the same extra-bright top end and punchy low end, so your guitar keeps that just-strung sparkle for way longer between changes.
EXP11 also carries D’Addario’s NY Steel core – the same high-carbon steel used in their NYXL line – giving you extra strength and rock-solid tuning stability, so you’re not constantly re-tuning after a hard strum session.
- Light gauge, 80/20 bronze wound – D’Addario’s best-selling acoustic set
- EXP coating for 4x longer life without sacrificing tone
- NY Steel core for added strength and pitch stability
- Corrosion-resistant, eco-friendly packaging keeps strings fresh until you open them
- Gauges: .012, .016 plain steel / .024, .032, .042, .053 bronze wound
Made in the USA on D’Addario’s precision machinery, EXP11 is the set to grab when you want fewer string changes without losing the tone that made you fall in love with your acoustic in the first place.
