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. Review: Slightly more expensive but worth every penny - 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. ## Features - CORROSION-RESISTANT, EXTENDED LIFE - XS Nickel strings have the longest life of any D’Addario electric string, plus a smooth, fast feel, with no fraying, peeling, or dampening, thanks to the ultra-thin XS film coating. - BRIGHT TONE - Reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire provides a bright tone with increased output, bite, and sustain. - STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING - With a NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology, XS Nickel offers greater break strength and unmatched tuning stability—staying in tune 131% better than standard electric strings. - EARN REWARD POINTS - XS Nickel sets have a code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – XS Nickel coated electric strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09TQ5GMM6 | | Best Sellers Rank | 227 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 24 in Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Nickel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | nickel | | Coating description | nickel | | Colour | Black | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 1,557 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954361952 | | Included Components | VCI bag | | Instrument | Electric Guitar | | Item Type Name | D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings, XSE1046, 10-46, Regular Light | | Item Weight | 1.4 Ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Manufacturer Part Number | XSE1046 | | Material Type | Nickel | | Model Name | D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings, XSE1046, 10-46, Regular Light | | Model Number | XSE1046 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Product Warranty | Not applicable. | | Recommended Uses For Product | Electric guitar | | Set Name | XSE1046 | | String Gauge | Thickness 10-46 | | String Material Type | Nickel | | String gauge | Thickness 10-46 | | String material type | Nickel | | UPC | 019954361952 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Black - **Instrument:** Electric Guitar - **String gauge:** Thickness 10-46 - **String material type:** Nickel ## Images ![D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings 10-46 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611NRvtBi0L.jpg) ![D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings 10-46 - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vmtp9eXaL.jpg) ![D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings 10-46 - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71aUNUNWR1L.jpg) ![D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings 10-46 - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71-IUd4-pKL.jpg) ![D'Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings 10-46 - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/718AKeb-D1L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this cause any damage or excessive use on fretboard or frets? I’ve noticed the chemically coated strings in past have unwanted wear on fretboards** A: I tend to get LESS wear on the nut, saddle and frets/fretboard from the XS strings. I have been playing them on my acoustics since 2021, and they work great. The coating is not chemical, but rather thin polymere. **Q: Looking looking for strings for a hollow body 335 style guitar. Daily light for a beginner** A: The half round EHR 310s are a great place to start. Long lasting string,less scratching noise from your fingers on the string. **Q: Do the XS superlights come w colored-coded ball ends?** A: The XS series has color coded ball ends. **Q: The XS packaging shows the color coding of std strings, but seems the actual string pkg are brass/slvr/blk. Is this correct? It's confusing.** A: That is correct. You’ll reference the inside guide was to what strings and which color for each. They’re also bundled in pairs so the low E and the A are together, the D and the G are together, and the B and the high E. No pair has the same color combo (brass with black, or silver with black) etc so if you work with each pair one at a time, I’ve found it the easiest to keep track of what I’m doing. Hope this helps! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful strings *by L***N on 17 August 2026* Returning to guitar after years, the world had changed.
