Description
If you’re tired of watching a great-sounding set go dull after a handful of sessions, EXP26 is D’Addario’s answer. A micro-thin layer of EXP Coating is fused to the phosphor bronze wrap wire before it’s wound onto a hex-shaped core, sealing out the grime, sweat, and oxidation that dull tone and shorten string life. You still get that open, round-wound feel under your fingers — nothing plastic or slick — just a set that keeps its “just strung” sparkle three to four times longer than a standard uncoated string.
EXP26 lands in D’Addario’s Custom Light gauge, a hybrid setup built for players who want the punch and low-end depth of light gauge wound strings but prefer a touch less tension up top for smoother bends and vibrato. It’s a favorite for anyone who splits time between strumming and lead lines.
Under the coating, D’Addario builds in NY Steel — the same high-carbon steel used in their NYXL line — for extra strength and rock-solid pitch stability, string after string. Every set ships in corrosion-resistant packaging, so what you install is exactly as fresh as it left the factory.
- Hybrid Custom Light gauge: light bottom strings, lighter top strings for easy bending
- EXP Coated phosphor bronze for warm, balanced, bright acoustic tone
- 4x longer life than traditional uncoated strings
- NY Steel plain strings for added strength and tuning stability
- Corrosion-resistant packaging keeps strings fresh until you break the seal
- Gauges: .011, .015 plain steel / .022, .032, .042, .052 phosphor bronze wound
Made in the U.S.A. by D’Addario, the string maker most players trust for consistency set after set.
