EXP16 - Phosphor Bronze Coated Light 12-53
Additional Photos:
This product is no longer available.
A micro-fine layer of EXP Coating is bonded to the phosphor bronze wrap wire which is then wound onto the hex-shaped core wire. The result is a built-in barrier against the corrosion and wear that can quickly sap the life out of your strings and your sound . EXP strings have a natural round wound feel and extra-bright tone that lasts three to four times longer than traditional guitar strings. Coupled with our Compound Plated plain steels, EXPs are the longest lasting, most natural sounding coated strings you can buy!

These are probably the worst sounding strings I've ever bought. I bought two packs, one for my OM and one for my dreadnought. Within a couple of hours of play both guitars sounded deader than plucking yarn across a plywood board. I changed my dreadnought back to regular EJ16s immediately and kept them on the OM out of interest. They have a dull, spongy sound that is completely the opposite of my normally lively OM.l If you are looking for coated strings Elixer is the way to go.

Just finished putting these strings on my Seagull Rustic Entourage, worth the extra money just for the tone. If I get more use out them than regular strings before having to change, "Bonus".

They went really dead after limited bursts of playing. $7 ej16's sound way better, and cheaper.

These are beautiful sounding strings but they aren't for anyone who bounces around in open and standard tunings. They break real easy after about a dozen or so big move tunings. Interestingly enough, the EXP Mandolin strings do the same thing.
