Description
The XSE1046 set takes D’Addario’s NYXL nickel-plated steel wrap wire and adds a coating layer engineered for tone that doesn’t dull over time. Built on a nickel-plated high-carbon steel core with ball ends and Fusion Twist winding, this Regular Light .010-.046 set is aimed at guitarists who want longevity without sacrificing the bite and articulation that make uncoated strings appealing in the first place.
- Ultrathin coating resists corrosion and finger grime, extending playable life up to roughly five to six times longer than standard uncoated strings
- NYXL-derived nickel-plated steel wrap wire adds midrange push and helps pickups translate more output
- Fusion Twist winding removes slack at the ball end, tightening tuning stability string to string
- Coating cuts friction against the nut and bridge, supporting smoother bends and quicker return to pitch
- Nickel-plated high-carbon steel core resists breakage, even under aggressive bending
- Gauges: .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046
Where a lot of coated strings sacrifice brightness for lifespan, D’Addario’s XS line is built to hold onto clarity, crunch, and sustain deep into the string’s working life. Less finger squeak, more consistent output, and tuning that holds through long sets or practice marathons — this set is a straightforward upgrade for anyone tired of restringing more often than they’d like.
