The D'Addario NW020 is a single .020 gauge nickel wound string from the XL series — the go-to when you need to replace one string, build a custom gauge set, or swap in a wound G instead of a plain one. It's a wound string, so it's designed for electric guitar use.
The XL construction uses nickel-plated steel wound onto a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. That hex core design helps the winding grip consistently, which contributes to stable intonation and even tension across the string's life. The .020 gauge sits in a useful middle range — light enough to bend without too much resistance, substantial enough to add body compared to a plain string of similar pitch.
