D'Addario XTAPB1256 12-56 Light Top/Medium Bottom Bluegrass XT Acoustic Guitar Strings

D’Addario XTAPB1256 XT Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings – Light Top/Medium Bottom (12–56, Bluegrass)

D’Addario XTAPB1256 Bluegrass strings blend the warm, balanced tone of phosphor bronze with the extended lifespan and improved tuning stability of the XT series. With an ultra-thin protective coating and a treated core, XT strings resist corrosion, sweat, and grime while maintaining a natural feel that’s closer to uncoated strings than traditional coated sets.

This 12–56 “light top/medium bottom” configuration offers easier playability on the higher strings for smooth fretting and clear melody lines, while the heavier lower strings give extra power, projection, and headroom—perfect for aggressive flatpicking and rhythmic drive.

Expect bright, clear highs, articulate mids, and a warm, punchy low end that holds its tone longer than standard phosphor bronze sets.
