Need just one string? The D'Addario NW042 is a single .042 gauge replacement string from the XL Nickel Wound series — D'Addario's most popular electric guitar string line. Whether you snapped a string mid-session or you're dialing in a custom gauge set, this is a simple, reliable pick-up.
The XL Nickel Wound series is precision wound with nickel-plated steel onto a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. That construction gives the string a bright, articulate tone and consistent intonation — the same character you'll find across the full XL lineup. At .042, this is a wound string typically used as a fourth string in standard sets, and it works well in both standard and drop tunings. Every string in the XL series is manufactured in the USA.
Product Features:
- .042 gauge nickel-plated steel round wound single string
- Part of D'Addario's best-selling XL Nickel Wound series
- Hexagonally shaped high carbon steel core for intonation consistency
- Bright tone with strong magnetic output
- Ideal as a replacement string or for building a custom gauge set
- Made in the USA
