D'Addario XL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - Various Gauges

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.

Hex Core Construction

Precision drawn hexagonal core was pioneered by D'Addario.

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