D'Addario EXP26 EXP Coated Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, Custom Light, 11-52

The D'Addario EXP26 is a coated phosphor bronze acoustic guitar string set in D'Addario's original Custom Light hybrid gauge — combining light gauge bottom strings (.022–.052) for depth and projection with lighter top strings (.011–.015) for easy bending and reduced tension on the high strings. EXP coated strings deliver up to 4x more life than uncoated strings while maintaining the warm, bright, well-balanced tone of phosphor bronze.

Custom Light Hybrid Gauge — The Best of Both Worlds

The EXP26's Custom Light gauge is a D'Addario original hybrid — a comfortable compromise for players who want the full, resonant projection of light gauge wound strings on the bottom end, but prefer the reduced tension and easier bending of a lighter gauge on the plain steel top strings. An ideal choice for fingerstyle players, singer-songwriters, and anyone who plays both rhythm and lead on acoustic guitar.

EXP Coating — Up to 4x More Life

D'Addario's EXP micro-coating is applied to the phosphor bronze wrap wire using advanced proprietary machinery — creating an ultra-thin protective barrier that dramatically extends string life by blocking the moisture, sweat, and environmental contaminants that cause corrosion and tone degradation. EXP coated strings last up to 4 times longer than uncoated strings while maintaining the familiar, natural tone of phosphor bronze — not the thick, artificial feel associated with conventional coated strings.

NY Steel High-Carbon Core

The plain steel strings and hexagonal cores are made from D'Addario's proprietary NY High Carbon Steel — engineered and manufactured in New York for unprecedented break strength and pitch stability. NY Steel cores deliver superior intonation consistency and tuning stability compared to conventional steel cores, maintaining even tone and feel from set to set.

Phosphor Bronze Wrap Wire

Phosphor bronze wrap wire produces the warm, balanced acoustic tone that has made it the most popular acoustic guitar string material worldwide. The phosphor content slows oxidation, extending string life even further when combined with the EXP coating.
