The D'Addario NW049 is a single .049 gauge string from the XL Nickel Wound series — one of the most widely used electric guitar string lines around. Whether you're replacing a broken string or dialing in a custom gauge setup, this single string gives you exactly what you need without buying a full set.
The NW049 is wound with nickel-plated steel over a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. That hex core construction helps the wrap wire grip tightly for consistent intonation across the neck. The .049 gauge makes it a common choice for a wound third or a heavier fourth string depending on your tuning and playing style.
D'Addario makes all XL strings at their facility in the USA using proprietary, digitally controlled machinery — which means you're getting the same spec string every time, not just when you get lucky with a batch.
