D'Addario XT Nickel Plated Steel Electric Guitar Coated Strings .009-.042 Light

The D'Addario XT Electric Guitar Coated Strings Medium provide an uncoated feel with dramatically extended lifespan. The XT coating is applied to each string, delivering advanced corrosion resistance and consistency while preserving the bright tone and natural feel of an uncoated string. Beneath the groundbreaking coating, XT strings are built on a NY Steel core and nickel-plated steel wrap wire, producing a versatile tone that suits any style. The 11-49 Medium gauge strings provide increased volume, with slightly more tension and resistance.

Play Longer Between Changes

The XT coating protects strings from the elements, reducing buildup and keeping them fresh for up to 4 times longer than uncoated strings. Players can enjoy consistent, reliable performance over a dramatically extended period, reducing time spent changing strings and money spent on replacements.

Familiar Feel, Enhanced Durability

While the XT coating provides extreme protection, strings retain the familiar feel of uncoated nickel-plated steel. The coating is applied thinly and evenly, avoiding the slippery feel of other coated options. Beneath the coating, Fusion Twist technology and a hexagonal core provide added strength, enabling aggressive styles without sacrificing tone.

Consistent, Versatile Tone

The nickel-plated steel wrap wire in XT strings delivers a bright, focused tone that cuts through live mixes and recordings. The medium gauge set provides a balanced tension that produces full tone across the fretboard, suitable for any genre. Players can rely on the same signature tone show after show, session after session.

Premium Protection and Convenience

XT strings come in specialized, corrosion-resistant packaging that keeps them fresh in storage and transit. Color-coded ball ends make for quick, accurate string changes, even on a dimly lit stage. XT strings offer premium protection and convenience, enabling musicians to focus on their craft.
