EXP17s offer heavier tension resulting in a bolder, more resonant acoustic tone with higher resistance for heavy strumming and flat-picking.
D'Addario EXPs are the most natural-sounding, longest-lasting coated strings available. EXP Coated Technology starts with the highest quality wrap wire materials, precision drawn and micro-coated on our advanced proprietary machinery. Strings are then wound normally, delivering tone and feel identical to D'Addario's world renowned acoustic strings, with a minimum of 4 times more life. You won't believe they are coated!
D'Addario, the world's largest manufacturer of musical instrument strings, is known as The Players Choice with a reputation for unsurpassed quality and consistency. D'Addario's innovative packaging reduces waste and provides protection from corrosion. All D'Addario strings are manufactured in the U.S.A. using proprietary, digitally controlled, state-of-the-art machinery for unmatched performance, set after set.

Best sounding coated strings around,
By Bob "Bob in Big Bear Ca" (Big Bear, Ca United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: D'Addario EXP17 Coated Phosphor Acoustic Guitar Strings, Medium, 13-56 (Electronics)
I use these strings on my Taylor 710 and they last a long time have a great bottom on them and still produce very good mid-range and treble. A set coated strings that doesn't sound like most coated strings do, but retains a very well balanced tone.
I feel that after playing mostly acoustic guitar for over forty years I can be reasonably objective on acoustic guitars and strings, and I always keep a few sets of these and the EXP lite gauge strings in my strings and tool box. I also use the light EXP's on my Taylor 814-CE, Martin DC16GTE and Laguna LG6-RW . Again they just sound very natural and last a long time. Over all the EXP's are crisp with great dynamics without the overly bright sound of the Elixirs which are just way too bright for me.

This review is from: D'Addario EXP17 Coated Phosphor Acoustic Guitar Strings, Medium, 13-56 (Electronics)
I've used D'Addario strings for many, many years without problems - both acoustic & electric. I've tried these coated strings in the past, and I actually prefer them to Elixir because they feel more like regular strings - the wrap is coated, rather than a sheathe being placed over the entire string, like on Elixirs.
Do they last longer? Probably. Even when I'm in situations where I'm gigging regularly I rarely change strings more than every few months, just because I don't see the need. I think the main benefit to coated strings is if you have guitars that you can't play regularly the strings won't corrode. But these sound great and feel fine, and the're the least expensive coated strings I've found. I've always found D'Addario quality to be great.

Great strings,

I agree with the other reviewer who said that these EXP strings sound superior to Elixirs. The EXP tone is thicker and fuller. I love the sound of D'Addario Acoustic Phosphor Bronze medium strings (EJ16s, I think?), but they die rather quickly. EXPs are a perfect compromise, because the have most of the EJ16 tone, but last far longer because they are coated. I'm sold on these. Good job, D'Addario.
