Less wound string squeak
Review by Chuck on 18 Dec 2023 review stating Less wound string squeak I do not like wound string squeak, and D'Addario XS strings seem to be the best at minimizing it, other than using flat-wounds. They are also coated, the volume is very balanced from string to string, and they sound and great. Currently my go-to strings.
The only negative for me is the use of a .011 for the B string and a .016 for the G string, which most manufacturers use as well. This choice makes for uneven tension. I replace the .011 with a D'Addario XTPL012. I would replace the G string with a .015, but D'Addario does not make an XT string in the size.
