D'Addario EXP19 Coated Phosphor Bronze Bluegrass Acoustic Guitar Strings, 12-56

D’Addario’s phosphor bronze round - wound acoustic guitar strings are super popular. Phosphor bronze strings are a bit mellower than 80/20 bronze, offering a warm, bright, and well - balanced acoustic tone. Wrapped with corrosion - resistant metal on a steel hex core, they have great longevity and superior tonal quality. The EXP series features a polymer coating on the wrap wire before winding. These strings feel and sound just like uncoated ones but last at least four times longer. EXP19 is a hybrid gauge. It combines medium - gauge bottom strings for more resonance and volume with light - gauge top strings for easier playability and single - note bending, making it a top pick for bluegrass players.

Using these D'Addario EXP19 strings is easy. Just replace your old guitar strings with them one by one. When installing, make sure the strings are properly seated in the bridge and tuning pegs. For better sound and performance, tune the guitar carefully after string installation. As for maintenance, wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the polymer coating in good condition and extend the strings' lifespan. Avoid exposing the guitar to extreme humidity or temperature, as this can affect the strings' tone and durability. If you notice the strings losing their brightness or becoming difficult to tune, it might be time to replace them.
