D'Addario XTE1046

XT Nickel-coated electric guitar strings offer higher break resistance, better pitch stability, and a longer lifespan than traditional electric guitar strings. The XT coating, applied to each individual string in the set, provides enhanced corrosion resistance while preserving the bright tone and natural feel of the uncoated string. Beneath the coating, the XT Nickel features a NY Steel core, nickel-plated steel wire, and Fusion Twist technology, which adds extra elasticity and tonal versatility, making it suitable for a variety of music styles. The 10-46 Regular Light gauge is the most popular XT thickness, offering a good balance between tone and playability.
