D'Addario XSE0946 XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings — 09-46 Super Light Top/Regular Bottom
If you've ever wanted a coated string that doesn't feel like a coated string, the D'Addario XS Nickel series is worth a close look. The XSE0946 is a 09-46 Super Light Top/Regular Bottom set — a hybrid gauge that keeps your high strings easy to bend while giving the wound strings a bit more weight and body on the low end.
The XS coating is applied as an ultra-thin film to every wound string, with a unique polymer treatment on the plain steels as well. That means the whole set is protected — not just the wounds. The nickel-plated steel wrap wire is reformulated to deliver a bright, articulate tone, and under the hood, a NY Steel high-carbon hex core and D'Addario's Fusion Twist technology work together to improve break strength and tuning stability. These strings are made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility.
Key Features:
- Ultra-thin XS film coating on every wound string; polymer treatment on plain steels for full-set protection
- 09-46 Super Light Top/Regular Bottom gauge: flexible highs, fuller-sounding lows
- Reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire for bright tone with added output and sustain
- NY Steel high-carbon hex core with Fusion Twist technology for tuning stability and break strength

- Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility
