Product Overview
D'Addario constructs XL Nickel Wound strings with a proprietary high-carbon steel Hex-Core wrapped in precision-wound nickel-plated steel wire, creating a foundation for exceptional tone and longevity. The Regular Light 10-46 gauge configuration provides an ideal balance between playability and tonal body, making it the most popular choice among electric guitarists worldwide. Each string is drawn to exacting specifications at D'Addario's New York manufacturing facility, ensuring consistent quality across every set.
The nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers a bright, versatile voice that adapts seamlessly to rock, blues, jazz, country, and metal playing styles. The medium tension of the 10-46 gauge offers comfortable string bending for lead work while maintaining enough mass for full-bodied rhythm tones. D'Addario's manufacturing precision ensures perfect intonation up and down the fretboard, giving you confidence whether you're playing open chords or shredding at the 22nd fret.
This 3-pack configuration includes recyclable VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) bags that protect each set from corrosion until you're ready to string up. Every package includes a unique code that allows you to register for D'Addario's Players Circle rewards program, turning your string purchases into points for gear discounts and exclusive offers.

Key Features
Proprietary Hex-Core Construction
D'Addario's hexagonal steel core provides a larger surface area for the wrap wire to grip, creating superior tuning stability and consistent feel across all six strings. This design ensures that your guitar stays in tune longer and maintains uniform tension from string to string.
Nickel-Plated Steel Wrap Wire
The nickel-plated steel winding delivers the bright, cutting tone that electric guitarists have relied on for decades. This material provides excellent magnetic response for pickups while offering a smooth feel under your fingers that's comfortable for extended playing sessions.
Regular Light 10-46 Gauge
This gauge set balances playability with tonal presence, offering enough mass for full-bodied rhythm work while remaining flexible enough for expressive lead playing. The .010-inch high E string bends easily, while the .046-inch low E string provides solid bass response without excessive finger fatigue.
