## Description

The XT coating, applied to each string in the set, delivers advanced corrosion resistance, while still retaining the bright tone and natural feel of the uncoated string. Beneath the coating, XT Nickel are made with a NY Steel core, nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, resulting in added resilience and tonal versatility, excellent for a wide range of musical styles. EARN REWARD POINTS with the code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points.

Review: They don't feel or sound like coated strings at all - If I had the money I'd always buy these. Unlike other coated strings these feel totally natural and last a long time. Great for people like me with sweaty hands. If I can't get my hands on these then I go for the NYXL ones. These are top tier and I will never switch back to Ernie Ball. Edit: I'm now on my third pack and I'm never going back. I wish there were an option for subscribe and save like there are for the 9-42 NYXL strings but oh well. I get these about once every 3 to 4 months just for the one guitar I use these on. I like using these on my Jazzmaster. Despite it's scale length being the same as all other Fender guitars like the Strat the string still has to travel further from the bridge to peg and the high E is prone to breakage.
Review: Excellent Strings ! - These 09/42 D'Addario Guitar strings are a great addition to my style of playing. The gauge is just right for those string bends on soulful leads. They stay in tune when you stretch them out. They last a long time depending how much you play and clean afterwards with a microfiber cloth. You might like a different gauge depending on how you play but these are just right for me. The price is much better than the guitar shops in town. I'll purchase again !

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Am i able to get a replacement for my g string for 09/46, i just got my order yesterday, also my g string snapped.**
A: Argh! I hate when a new string breaks! 

You probably can order a single string, but it's usually more "cost effective" to order another complete set of strings.

You might want to check w/ a local music store; they may offer you a better price on single strings.

**Q: I use nyxl’s & love them. how do these feel compared to nyxls? are they stiffer from the coating?**
A: No, they feel like normal strings. And they lasted a lot longer.

**Q: are they supposed to be slippery? I am trying to learn guitar but trying a D chord results in my 3rd finger sliding**
A: According to D'Addario ... "XT strings feature an extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings".
Personally, I don't find them noticeably 'slippery'. I put mine on around December 10th, 2019 and they still feel clean & smooth. These are the first coated string I have tried. I understand other brands may be more 'slippery' than these. I can't exactly see what you are trying to do, so I can't comment on that.

**Q: Do either the xte1149 or the xse1149 have a wound g string (.018)?**
A: no

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb finish, tone, and snap!
*by M***. on July 19, 2020*

I recently restrung both my Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster with these, and I really appreciate the quality. You can see the polished smoothness of the unwound/strings right away, and I can definitely feel the difference while playing. I’ve put over 30 hours of playing time on each of the sets, and the tone and shine hasn’t noticeably degraded at all. The wound strings have a lot of ‘snap’ to them. I’m really pleased with these. They’re a bit more expensive than plain strings, but in my opinion, they’re worth it for their durability and tone.
