Experience the ultimate evolution in coated string performance with the D'Addario XS Nickel Electric Guitar Strings in a Medium 11-49 gauge. As D’Addario’s premier long-life option, the XS series represents a massive leap forward in film coating technology, delivering the longest lifespan of any D'Addario electric string ever made. By combining a high-headroom, heavier tension gauge with an ultra-thin protective shield, this set provides exceptional volume, rich midrange bite, and an uncommonly smooth, lightning-fast feel that never dampens your natural acoustic brilliance.

Key Features

• Maximum Achievable Tone Life: Armed with an ultra-thin, groundbreaking film coating over every wound string and a proprietary polymer treatment on the plain steels. This shields all six strings from life-killing corrosion, oils, and sweat to keep them sounding brand-new indefinitely.
• 10X Thinner Than a Human Hair: The advanced microscopic film is engineered so thin that strings ring out with the incredible definition, organic snap, and harmonic resonance of an uncoated string, without any of the typical "coated stiffness."
• NY Steel High-Carbon Core: Built on D'Addario’s exclusive New York-manufactured hexagonal core wire. This precision engineering provides a rock-solid structural foundation with unrivaled break resistance and multi-dynamic headroom.
• Fusion Twist Tuning Stability: Features patented Fusion Twist technology at the ball-ends of the plain steel strings to prevent slack from compromising your pitch, helping this set stay in tune 131% better than standard electric strings.
• Reformulated Nickel-Plated Steel Wrap: Wrapped with premium, redesigned nickel-plated steel wire that increases overall magnetic output, pumping enhanced midrange crunch, sustain, and bite directly to your pickups.
• Medium 11-49 Gauge Performance: Perfectly proportioned for players who prefer a heavier string tension, delivering enhanced acoustic volume, powerful chord projection, and rock-solid stability—making it an exceptional choice for drop tunings, blues bends, and aggressive strumming.
