DIAL IT IN. CRANK IT OUT.

XL Nickel Wound, D'Addario's most popular guitar strings, are precision wound with nickel plated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core.

The result—strings with long lasting, distinctive, bright tone and excellent intonation—is ideal for the widest variety of guitars and musical styles.




Round Wound Strings

Round wound strings have the feel and tone that most players are familiar with.

This string construction combines the strength of the steel core with the tonal properties of the wrap wire alloy.




String Winding Technology

String winding equipment is designed and built D'Addario's engineering team, guaranteeing a production range of 500,000 to 700,000 strings per day.

Digitally controlled string winding machines ensure productivity, accuracy and consistency.




Hex Core Technology

Precision drawn hexagonal core core was pioneered by D'Addario.

This innovation allows wire wrap to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability and precise intonation.
