3 Gigs, 2 Sessions, and a Lightning Strike — D'Addario XS Strings Still Going

‍

‍

Three outdoor Georgia/Florida gigs with Brad Paisley in August , 90°+ heat, swampy humidity, and sweat everywhere. Normally, that’s when strings go dead and feel sluggish, but my D’Addario XS coated strings didn’t just survive, they crushed it.After all three gigs, I used the same guitar and same set of strings for two recording sessions, and they still sounded and felt fresh.In this video, I’ll share how the XS strings handled brutal touring conditions, why they feel great even when the air feels like soup, and the wild St. Augustine show where lightning struck nearby, Brad’s rig went down, and we had to keep the show rolling.
