XT Classical Guitar Strings

Dr. Capital uses XT Classical Normal Tension. Our longest lasting classical string, known for its bold, projecting tone, and extended life span. Combining centuries of D’Addario expertise with modern coating technology, this normal tension set is preferred for its balance of rich tone, comfortable feel, and dynamic projection.

I've been playing D'Addario strings ever since I first started classical guitar.

"Because the XTs are treated, the low strings last a very long time, and I just feel like the strings stay together as a nice sounding set for longer."
