D'AddarioXT Coated Classical Guitar Strings - XTC45 - Extended String Life with Natural Tone & Feel - Normal Tension

This set of strings is the perfect tone and quality I look for in titanium trebles and the long life coating for the bass strings really do last a good long time. The Best bang for your buck. They feel great like traditional strings and easy to play. They look amazing on my guitar

A Classical guitar's strings do degrade with age and frequency of use..and I had not noticed the lack of brilliance. The D'Addario XT strings have made my guitar young again! They are widely known and respected for their quality, smoothness and sustain. I've replaced my old strings and immediately enjoyed easier left-hand shifts up the fretboard with less string sliding noise, much longer sustain and a bright sound, especially in the high range. This is the brand I intend to stick with from now on!

Great tone and feel

These strings last! I teach and gig so I’m playing my classical multiple hours every day. I used to change my strings every 4 weeks. I’ve had them one for about 6 and haven’t noticed any drop off. With that said, the basses are not as bright as new non coated. They sound like basses that are already played in some, which I like, but surprised me

This is a great product. I had a Havendi set before and my comparison is based on my experience with that set. This set has a louder sound, but the sound is sharper and more lasting. I mean you can hear the resonance for a longer period and it is sharper. The Havendi had a warmer and more classical style sound although the sound was not as powerful as this one. Excuse my lack of knowledge and not using the technical terminology, I just wanted to share my experience as a newbie. I think this is a better set for Jazz or Flaminco style, but not the best choice for classical style, and that is totally my opinion, others may say that I am totally wrong. As far as the quality of the product, it is great.

I have two classical guitars, one in regular tuning and the other I leave in drop D tuning. I put new strings on both guitars about 2 months ago. I put the EJ45's on one (because I wasn't sure I would keep it) and these XTC45's on the other. I think I play them about the same amount but the EJ's are already sounding flat while the XTC's still sound as bright and clear as when they were new. I paid $6 more for the XTC's. Both sets held their tune very quickly sounded good at the beginning but the less I have to change strings the better. I have tried other brands of strings but the D'Addario are consistently higher quality and have never slipped or broken like others have.

Excelent functionality

I've got a 50 year old Montoya guitar, not worth a lot of money, but with these strings, this is an amazing guitar and it sounds so rich. I got the low tension strings, since I am a newbie, but since I have obtained my calluses, I'd prefer a medium tension strings, but these strings are great!
