XS Nickel coated electric guitar strings offer the longest lifespan among all D’Addario electric guitar strings. With our revolutionary XS coating, these top - notch electric strings have an extended life, a smooth and fast feel, and they don't dampen the excellent tone. Made with a NY Steel core, a reformulated nickel - plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, XS Nickel strings have great strength and tuning stability. They also produce richer harmonics, better clarity, and sharp definition when you sweep, slide, or bend. This 11 - 49 medium gauge set gives you more volume, along with a bit more tension and resistance. Ideal for all music genres. Gauges include .011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .049 (Medium).
Using these D'Addario XS Nickel coated electric guitar strings is easy. First, remove your old strings from the guitar. Then, start installing the new strings one by one. Thread them through the bridge and the tuning pegs. Tune each string to the correct pitch. As you play, you'll notice the smooth feel and great tone. When it comes to maintenance, keep your guitar in a dry place. Wipe the strings with a clean cloth after each use to remove sweat and dirt. This will help keep the XS coating intact and extend the life of the strings. If you notice any signs of wear or the strings start to sound dull, it's time to replace them. Also, be careful when tuning to avoid over - tightening and breaking the strings.
