Made in the USA, these strings combine durability and premium sound quality, perfect for serious electric guitarists seeking reliability and brilliance. ## Description XS Nickel coated electric guitar strings provide the longest life of any D’Addario electric guitar string. Coated with our groundbreaking XS coating, these premium electric strings attain maximum life and a smooth, fast feel without dampening their outstanding tone. Constructed with a NY Steel core, reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, XS Nickel strings boast superior strength and tuning stability, plus richer harmonics, greater clarity, and remarkable definition with every sweep, slide, and bend. Review: Great strings - I like these strings quite a bit. The coating provides a slightly slippery feeling under the fingers that makes sliding your hands around the fretboard smoother than playing on standard strings. The coating feels more subtle than the coating on the equivalent Elixir strings. They have a balanced tone that lasts and lasts. These easily sound lively and new for more than three times as long as a standard XL set of strings making them a reasonable value proposition. I have used a single set for over a year on one of my guitars and it still sounds close to a new set of strings. One thing I don't like; the ball ends only feature three colors to differentiate the string gauges rather than the typical D'Addario color scheme with six different colors. While you can still identify each string gauge, it is not as easy to figure out what you need from the container because you have to examine both the ball end color and determine whether the string is wound or plain to know what gauge it is. Review: All the upsides of a coated string with as few of the downsides as possible - I used to be a pure nickel string person, but they tarnish and corrode so quickly. Having previously used coated strings for a period when they were introduced in the 90s, I was aware of the benefits. I was already a fan of D'Addario products, so I figured I'd give these a try and now all of my electrics use them. To me they sound like regular nickel wound strings that have been on the guitar for a week or so. Most of the factory fresh zing of a brand new nickel wound string is there, but just slightly less punchy. Considering they will retain that quality for much longer, the benefit absolutely outweighs the slightly reduced "tone loss". ## Features - CORROSION-RESISTANT, EXTENDED LIFE - XS Nickel strings have the longest life of any D’Addario electric string, plus a smooth, fast feel, with no fraying, peeling, or dampening, thanks to the ultra-thin XS film coating. - BRIGHT TONE - Reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire provides a bright tone with increased output, bite, and sustain. - STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING - With a NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology, XS Nickel offers greater break strength and unmatched tuning stability—staying in tune 131% better than standard electric strings. - EARN REWARD POINTS - XS Nickel sets have a code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – XS Nickel coated electric strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09TQ5GMM6 | | Best Sellers Rank | #293 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #5 in Electric Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Nickel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | nickel | | Color | silver | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 1,572 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954361952 | | Included Components | Set of 6 XS Nickel coated electric guitar strings | | Instrument | Electric Guitar | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 1.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Manufacturer Part Number | XSE1046 | | Material Type | nickel, bronze | | Model Name | XSE1046 | | Model Number | XSE1046 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Electric Guitar | | Set Name | Single Set | | Sound Profile | Bright and Clear | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Bronze | | UPC | 019954361952 | | Warranty Description | Replaced if defective. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Color:** silver - **Instrument:** Electric Guitar - **String Gauge:** Light - **String Material Type:** Bronze ## Images ![XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings 10-46 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/611NRvtBi0L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Will this cause any damage or excessive use on fretboard or frets? I’ve noticed the chemically coated strings in past have unwanted wear on fretboards** A: I tend to get LESS wear on the nut, saddle and frets/fretboard from the XS strings. I have been playing them on my acoustics since 2021, and they work great. The coating is not chemical, but rather thin polymere. **Q: Looking looking for strings for a hollow body 335 style guitar. Daily light for a beginner** A: The half round EHR 310s are a great place to start. Long lasting string,less scratching noise from your fingers on the string. **Q: Do the XS superlights come w colored-coded ball ends?** A: The XS series has color coded ball ends. **Q: The XS packaging shows the color coding of std strings, but seems the actual string pkg are brass/slvr/blk. Is this correct? It's confusing.** A: That is correct. You’ll reference the inside guide was to what strings and which color for each. They’re also bundled in pairs so the low E and the A are together, the D and the G are together, and the B and the high E. No pair has the same color combo (brass with black, or silver with black) etc so if you work with each pair one at a time, I’ve found it the easiest to keep track of what I’m doing. Hope this helps! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings *by D***S on January 5, 2026* I like these strings quite a bit.

Always my go-to and I’ve tried just about every brand and type of strings there are over the last 15+ years of playing guitar. Last a long time and the coating isn’t too thick. Just makes the strings feel fast and not slimy or like latex. These take the least amount of time to settle in and stretch as well. It’s almost like they pre stretch them haha. When these are 25% off stock up for sure. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings - XSE1046 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 10-46 Regular Light - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XS Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XSAPB1253 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 12-53 Light - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/419893925-xs-nickel-coated-electric-guitar-strings-10-46](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/419893925-xs-nickel-coated-electric-guitar-strings-10-46) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
