Review: It's Durable! - I purchased the XTE0942 almost 3months ago and up to now its still going strong. I have to commend on the durability of the strings (considering the usage is more than twice on a weekly basis). No visible rust so far and the pitch of the string has a good mellow tune to it. Ideal for personal sounds or at a crowd. I would definitely but this product again. Highly recommended.

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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It's Durable! *by F***. on 8 January 2023* I purchased the XTE0942 almost 3months ago and up to now its still going strong.
