D'Addario XSE0942 XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar String Super Light - 09-42

.009-.042 Nickel-plated Steel-coated Electric Guitar Strings :

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. Guitar 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.

NY steel core with Fusion Twist steels

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.
