Sometimes you just need that one string. The D'Addario NW054 is a single .054 gauge nickel wound string from the XL series — the same one found in many of D'Addario's most popular electric guitar sets. Whether you snapped a string mid-session or you're building out a custom gauge set for a specific tuning, this is a straightforward, reliable replacement.
The NW054 is round wound with nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hexagonally shaped high carbon steel core. At .054, it sits in low-end wound territory — useful as a low E for heavier gauges, a B string for extended-range drop tunings, or a custom low-end anchor for non-standard setups. The XL series is made in the USA and is one of the most widely used electric string lines on the market.
