Review: My favorite strongs on planet earth! - Feel: If you're reading this you're probably not one of those "coated strings suck" snobs. But if you are, let me say these strings don't behave like coated strings, except for their playability and longevity aspect. They feel sleek, slippery, but not artificially so. Even the non-wound high strings stay slippery, they don't get that chunky, rusty feel after a couple weeks, they are a real pleasure to play! Stability & longevity: I've been playing for about 30 years, and I don't notice any tuning issues that I didn't notice with other strings, coated or not, so as far as I can tell stability isn't an issue. I used to use Elixirs (for longevity) but the last 2 or 3 years it's only D'Addario XS for me, for acoustics and electrics. No joke, I got 1.5 years out of these on my acoustic. Granted I don't play it every day, but weekly, yes. I regularly get 5 or 6 months on my electrics which I play nearly daily. YMMV as with anything, but I'm telling you these are the real deal, there is no better string at the time of this writing, in my humble opinion. Sound: Electric sound- who cares; there's so much more to your sound than the strings on an electric, so play strings that feel good and last, agree with me or not but that's my advice. Acoustic sound- well, if you're a sound snob for your acoustics, you may -or may not- like these. They don't seem as bright and nasally as Elixirs, but they are bright and crisp, for what I like my acoustics to sounds like they're perfect for me. If you have a spruce top, you may think they're extra bright, my main one is solid mahogany so they work wonderful. Again, YMMV if you seek a specific sound from acoustic strings based on your guitar's wood or top type.
Review: Need to try these, absolute game changer - Best coated electric strings in the game, I’ve been playing these since they came out and are consistently perfect. I play 5+ hours a day and do it as my job. I hardly ever have to change my strings, I absolutely never break them. The tone is consistently clear, and has that bubbly new feel for a very long time.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this cause any damage or excessive use on fretboard or frets? I’ve noticed the chemically coated strings in past have unwanted wear on fretboards**
A: I tend to get LESS wear on the nut, saddle and frets/fretboard from the XS strings. I have been playing them on my acoustics since 2021, and they work great. The coating is not chemical, but rather thin polymere.

**Q: Looking looking for strings for a hollow body 335 style guitar. Daily light for a beginner**
A: The half round EHR 310s are a great place to start.
Long lasting string,less scratching noise from your fingers on the string.

**Q: Do the XS superlights come w colored-coded ball ends?**
A: The XS series has color coded ball ends.
