The D'Addario NW044 is a single .044 gauge string from the XL Nickel Wound series — one of the most widely used electric guitar strings on the market. It's a handy pick-up when you've snapped a string mid-set or want to experiment with a mixed custom gauge set without buying a full pack.
Construction follows the standard XL formula: nickel-plated steel wound around a hexagonally shaped, high-carbon steel core. That hex core keeps the winding locked in place for consistent intonation along the neck. At .044, this is a wound string typically used in the mid-to-lower register of a standard set (third or fourth string depending on your tuning and gauge preference).
