About D'Addario XTE1046

Find the perfect balance of tone and playability with the XTE1046 XT Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings. These regular light, 10-46 gauge strings are designed to deliver a superior musical experience for all electric guitar enthusiasts.

Crafted by the reputable D'Addario brand, these strings are known for their durability and high-quality performance. They are constructed with a NY Steel core and nickel-plated steel wrap wire, ensuring a bright and balanced tone that is perfect for a wide range of musical styles.

The XT coating on each string provides advanced corrosion resistance, enhancing the lifespan of your strings while maintaining the natural feel and bright tone of uncoated strings. This means you can enjoy longer-lasting performance without compromising on the quality of your sound.

These strings are also equipped with Fusion Twist technology, a feature that prevents slack in the twist from detuning the string. This ensures maximum tuning stability and higher break strength, making these strings a reliable choice for any musician.

The hexagonal core construction, pioneered by D'Addario, allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation. This, combined with the use of high carbon steel, delivers unmatched tuning stability and superior break resistance.

Produced in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York, these strings are wound to perfection using digitally-controlled string winding machines. This guarantees productivity, accuracy, and consistency in every set of strings.

Experience the extraordinary sounds of the XTE1046 XT Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Strings, designed to prevent slack and power stability. Stand the test of time with strings that endure, providing uncompromising performance that never fades away.
