D’Addario XSAPB11553 Custom Light Plus strings deliver classic acoustic warmth and clarity with the extended tonal life and tuning stability of the XS series. Featuring an ultra-thin polymer coating on the wrap wire and a corrosion-resistant treated core, XS strings resist sweat, humidity, and buildup while preserving a feel closer to uncoated strings than most coated options.
The 11.5–53 custom light plus gauge provides a comfortable middle ground between light and medium sets—easy enough for expressive strumming and articulate fingerstyle, yet offering a bit more presence, volume, and low-end punch than lighter gauges.
Expect clear highs, warm mids, and a focused low end that stay bright and balanced through long sessions or shifting conditions.
