Discover the unparalleled performance of XS Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings, Super Light Plus, 9.5-44 Gauge, a set of 6 strings that redefine the standards of guitar playing. Engineered by D'Addario, these strings are designed to provide the longest lifespan among all electric guitar strings in the market, thanks to the revolutionary XS coating. This groundbreaking technology ensures a swift, smooth playing experience without compromising the exceptional tone that D'Addario is renowned for.
Constructed with a robust NY Steel core, these strings are enveloped in a reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire, further enhanced with Fusion Twist technology. This unique combination results in superior strength, tuning stability, and an enriched tonal quality. Experience richer harmonics, greater clarity, and remarkable definition with every sweep, slide, and bend. The 9.5-44 Super Light Plus strings offer a balanced tension, making them an ideal choice for guitars of varying scale lengths.
The D'Addario legacy of tone continues to thrive with the XS series, which breathes new life into coated strings. The ultra-thin film coating on every wound string, along with a unique polymer treatment on the plain steels, provides the highest level of protection, ensuring maximum life and an uncommonly smooth feel.
The XS series represents a significant leap forward in coating technology. The ultra-thin coating, which is 10x thinner than a human hair, shields the strings from contaminants, preserving their tone and extending their lifespan.
The precision-drawn hexagonal core, a pioneering innovation by D'Addario, allows the wrap wire to grip the core tightly, resulting in superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation. The Fusion Twist feature prevents slack in the twist, ensuring maximum tuning stability and higher break strength for our premium plain steel strings.
The NY Steel used in these strings is processed in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York. Through advanced machinery and processes, this premium high carbon steel delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.
D'Addario's in-house wire drawing machines produce musical instrument wire to our exact specifications. This control over materials, equipment, and quality allows us to deliver high-performance products that meet exacting standards and produce extraordinary sounds.
