The D'Addario ECG23 XL Chromes are flatwound electric guitar strings in an Extra Light 10-48 gauge — the lightest gauge available in the Chromes series. If you've been curious about flatwounds but wanted to start with a lower-tension option, this is the set to try. They're designed for electric guitar and work particularly well on hollowbody and semi-hollowbody instruments, though they're equally at home on solid bodies.
The Chromes are wound with a flattened stainless steel ribbon wire, then polished for a smooth, quiet playing surface that significantly reduces finger noise when moving across the fretboard. The core is a hexagonal high-carbon steel, which gives the wrap wire something solid to grip — contributing to consistent intonation and stable tuning. The two lightest strings (.010 and .014) are plain steel, while the remaining four (.020–.048) are stainless steel flat wound. Strings are packaged in D'Addario's corrosion-resistant packaging to keep them fresh until you're ready to use them. All D'Addario strings are made in the USA.
