D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings 10-46

Returning to guitar after years, the world had changed. Heard through the grapevine these were good strings so I got them and they are wonderful to use! Will be buying more for my other guitars.

Let's get it out the way, yes these strings are expensive compared to the standard D'Addario line and other brands however this cost is outweighed by the fact I've had to change my strings less frequently. I appreciate that coated strings aren't for everyone but these are unreal. The tuning stability (usually my indicator for when I need to change strings) is great and they stay bright sounding and feel new for longer. I've never had one of these strings break on me and the only reason I had to change my last set was that I damaged one string by bumping my guitar. When I did change them all I had were a standard set of D'Addario Nickel Wound strings and the difference was immediately noticeable. If you're someone who finds themselves changing their strings all the time then there may be more financially viable options however I can't see myself using any other string in the future.

I love these strings,I've been using D'Addario nickels for years and even as good as they are I noticed I was getting more finger noise from them,I've tried other coated strings but didn't like the feeling of them,then I saw these and even though there a bit more expensive I thought I'd give them a try,I'm glad I did,no noise lovely tone and just as important they feel good,if they last 3 months it'll actually work out cheaper and as I have a few guitars I'll change them all to these,if you're on the fence just give them a shot,I'm certain you'll like them

I've played D'addario for decades because they sound great, feel great and last longer. These new XS continue that tradition. Just wish you could buy them in boxes of 10 like the old days.

perfect for my electric resonator!

Best strings on the market currently in my opinion. Last about 6 months before the intonation starts going in my experience, whereas the coating is good enough that the strings still *feel* fresh (this is with multiple hours of playing/gigging 5-7 days a week). Triple the price of Ernie Ball's, but they last SO much longer. Definitely worthwhile.

These sound fine, and have a nice feel when playing. The one thing I don't like is the way the string are packaged, prefer them in separate paper envelops, with the size of each clearly printed on (like other companies do). Its way too easy to select the wrong string, especially in a hurry or bad lighting, simply separate paper envelops with size clearly printed on is not going to cost much. If cost is an issue or 'greenness' reduce the outer packaging or get rid of your players circle promotions - really what a waste! Would have been 5 stars if not for this cheapskate packaging! Would I buy again - probably yes - depends on the deals!

As a luthier I can't recommend this company's products and advice. Just try their strings and you will hear the difference There people are masters of their trade.

I like these strings quite a bit. The coating provides a slightly slippery feeling under the fingers that makes sliding your hands around the fretboard smoother than playing on standard strings. The coating feels more subtle than the coating on the equivalent Elixir strings. They have a balanced tone that lasts and lasts. These easily sound lively and new for more than three times as long as a standard XL set of strings making them a reasonable value proposition. I have used a single set for over a year on one of my guitars and it still sounds close to a new set of strings. One thing I don't like; the ball ends only feature three colors to differentiate the string gauges rather than the typical D'Addario color scheme with six different colors. While you can still identify each string gauge, it is not as easy to figure out what you need from the container because you have to examine both the ball end color and determine whether the string is wound or plain to know what gauge it is.

La classe premium di D'Addario per me è ormai una garanzia di altissima qualità. Ottimo feeling al tatto e una durabilità imbattibile a confronto delle altre marche. Ormai uso la serie XS per tutti i tipi delle mie chitarre.

Le lot de jeux de cordes D'Addario pour guitares électrique qui m'ont été livré sont parfaites comme d'habitude.

最近買ったヤマハのTAG3Cと言うトランス・アコースティック・ギターにはダダリオのコーティング弦が張られていましたが、これは高音域は良いけど低音域が全然駄目だった。 そこでダダリオの本品のコーティング弦に張り替えたら高音域も低音域も良くて気に入りました。 最初に張ってあったエリクサーのゲージは不明ですが、割と太めのヤツ。対してダダリオのは010〜047の細めのゲージ。にも関わらずダダリオの方が低音域が勝っています。 ネックも最初のエリクサーの太めのゲージだと、弾かない時には弦を緩めておかないと徐々に順反りして来ましたが、細めのダダリオに変えたら緩めなくても順反りしなくなりました。 オススメです!!
