The D'Addario EPN115 XL Pure Nickel electric guitar strings bring back the string construction that defined the sound of early electric guitar. Pure nickel was the standard wrap material throughout the 1950s, and these strings revive that character — a warmer, fuller response compared to the brighter nickel-plated steel sets that became common in the '60s and beyond.
This is a medium-gauge set (11-48) in D'Addario's Blues/Jazz Rock configuration, making it a solid pick for players who want a bit more body and tension than a light set but still need comfortable playability. The pure nickel wrap wire is wound over D'Addario's proprietary hex core, which keeps intonation consistent and gives the wrap wire something solid to grip. Strings are made at D'Addario's New York production facility and come in corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly VCI packaging to keep them fresh until you're ready to play.
