Description
The EXP26 set is D’Addario’s Custom Light hybrid gauge, built for players who want the rich low-end projection of light strings but appreciate a slightly softer touch up top for effortless bending and fretting.
- Plain Steel: .011, .015
- Phosphor Bronze Wound: .022, .032, .042, .052
Each wound string starts with a hex-shaped core wrapped in phosphor bronze, then sealed with D’Addario’s ultra-thin EXP coating. This microscopic barrier keeps grime, sweat, and oxidation from working their way into the winding, so the string keeps its fresh, open voice roughly three to four times longer than an uncoated equivalent — without sacrificing the natural feel or the warm, articulate ring phosphor bronze is known for.
Plain strings are made from D’Addario’s proprietary NY Steel, the same high-carbon formula used in the NYXL line, giving this set added break resistance and steadier tuning under pitch bends or heavy strumming.
Every set ships in D’Addario’s corrosion-resistant, low-waste packaging, so the strings inside are exactly as fresh as the day they were wound — right up until you open the pack.
Manufactured entirely in the U.S.A. on precision digital equipment, EXP26 strings reflect D’Addario’s longstanding reputation for set-to-set consistency, making them a dependable pick whether you’re restringing a gigging acoustic or stocking up for the season.
