The D'Addario XSE1052 is a set of XS Nickel coated electric guitar strings in the 10-52 Light Top/Heavy Bottom gauge — a popular choice for players who want the comfortable playability of a 10 on the treble side with more weight and punch on the low end. The 10-52 spread gives you a deeper low-end response compared to Regular Lights, without making the high strings feel stiff or difficult to bend.
These are D'Addario's longest-lasting electric strings. The ultra-thin XS film coating covers every wound string, while a unique polymer treatment protects the plain steels — all without the muffled feel that can come with heavier coatings. Built on a NY Steel high-carbon core with reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire and Fusion Twist technology, these strings are designed for strong break resistance and tuning stability. D'Addario rates them at staying in tune 131% better than standard electric strings. The hexagonal core — a D'Addario development — allows the wrap wire to grip tightly, contributing to dimensional consistency and precise intonation. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility. Each set comes in a recyclable, resealable VCI bag with a code to register for D'Addario Players Circle points.
