D Addario XSE0942 XS Nickel Plated Steel Coated Electric Guitar Strings, 009-.042 Super Light

Thinly Coated for Durable Tone

D’Addario XS Nickel-plated strings bring the company’s cutting-edge XS-coated formula to the electric guitar for the first time. These strings yield iconic D’Addario tone, but with a longer lifespan that ages gracefully. The ultra-thin XS coating not only preserves tone and longevity, but it also addresses common guitar player gripes about coated strings with their reduced string noise, lightning-fast playability, and superior resistance to fraying. Sweetwater players agree: if you’re looking for coated guitar strings that sound great and give you longer hours of playtime, D’Addario XS Nickel-plated Steels are a clear winner. Inside each XS nickel string is a NY Steel core — the same as you’ll find on a set of your favorite NYXLs or XTs electric guitar strings. This angular core gives the wrap wire more surface to grab on to, resulting in better tone and intonation. Plus, XS strings also feature D’Addario’s Fusion Twist technology, a process that prevents slack in each string’s winding, ensuring it stays more in tune and lasts longer.

Engineered for graceful aging
D’Addario XS sets aren’t your ordinary coated guitar strings. Both the wound strings and plain steels feature groundbreaking thin film coatings. This eliminates that awkward stage common to other coated strings where your bottom strings far outlast your top strings. XS Nickel coated electric guitar strings provide the longest life of any D’Addario electric guitar string. Coated with our groundbreaking XS coating, these premium electric strings attain maximum life and a smooth, fast feel without dampening their outstanding tone. Constructed with a NY Steel core, reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, XS Nickel strings boast superior strength and tuning stability, plus richer harmonics, greater clarity, and remarkable definition with every sweep, slide, and bend. This 9-42 Super Light gauge set is easy to bend and very flexible.
