D'Addario XS Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings, Medium Top/Extra Heavy Bottom, 11-56 Gauge, Set of 6 Strings

While the XS Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings are renowned for their exceptional longevity, it's their innovative design and superior performance that truly set them apart in the world of electric guitar accessories. Coated with the revolutionary XS coating, these premium strings offer a smooth, fast playing experience without compromising their vibrant, resonant tone.

Constructed with a NY Steel core and enveloped in a reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire, these strings are fortified with Fusion Twist technology. This unique combination results in strings that not only boast superior strength and tuning stability but also deliver richer harmonics, greater clarity, and remarkable definition with every strum, slide, and bend.

The 11-56 Medium Top/Extra Heavy Bottom set is specifically designed to maintain a comfortable playing tension, even when tuning down a whole step to D. The D'Addario legacy of exceptional tone is evident in every string, with the XS range breathing new life into the world of coated strings.

Featuring an ultra-thin film coating on every wound string and a unique polymer treatment on the plain steels, the XS strings offer the highest level of protection against contaminants. This ensures lasting tone and maximum life, all while providing an uncommonly smooth feel.

The precision-drawn hexagonal core, a pioneering innovation by D'Addario, allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation. The fusion twist feature further enhances the stability by preventing slack in the twist, ensuring maximum tuning stability and higher break strength.

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.

Finally, D'Addario's in-house wire drawing machines produce musical instrument wire to exact specifications. This control over materials, equipment, and quality allows us to deliver high-performance products that meet the exacting standards of musicians worldwide.
