## Description

XT Nickel coated electric guitar strings offer enhanced break resistance, better pitch stability, and longer-lasting performance than standard electric strings. The XT coating, applied to each string in the set, delivers advanced corrosion resistance, while still retaining the bright tone and natural feel of the uncoated string. Beneath the coating, XT Nickel are made with a NY Steel core, nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, resulting in added resilience and tonal versatility, excellent for a wide range of musical styles. EARN REWARD POINTS with the code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points.

Review: Great Strings - These strings are great. They are expensive but last a long time compared to other uncoated strings. They have a different rock tone than Ernie Ball, which I loved until I noticed I was only getting two hours of play time out of them while these have given me months of monster tone. Plus they are coated so you can leave them on the guitar in the case for months and they are still fresh.
Review: Great strings - I almost exclusively use D'Addarios on my acoustic guitars, and decided to try these out on my sons ESP. The strings have pretty good tone. The claim that these guitar strings fall out of tune less than others seems true so far. He's been playing on these for about a week now and so far so good.

## Features

- CORROSION-RESISTANT, EXTENDED LIFE - XT Nickel electric strings feature an advanced corrosion resistance coating, extending string life, while preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings.
- BRIGHT, VERSATILE TONE - Nickel-plated steel wrap wire provides a bright, versatile electric guitar tone, great for a variety of musical genres.
- STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING - Fusion Twist technology assures XT Nickel strings stay in tune better, while the NY Steel core wire offers greater break strength—bent two whole steps higher, XT strings are still at less than 75% of their breaking point.
- EARN REWARD POINTS - XT Nickel strings come with a code, which you can register to earn Players Circle points.
- MADE IN THE USA – XT electric guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to exacting specifications at our New York production facility.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Am i able to get a replacement for my g string for 09/46, i just got my order yesterday, also my g string snapped.**
A: Argh! I hate when a new string breaks! 

You probably can order a single string, but it's usually more "cost effective" to order another complete set of strings.

You might want to check w/ a local music store; they may offer you a better price on single strings.

**Q: I use nyxl’s & love them. how do these feel compared to nyxls? are they stiffer from the coating?**
A: No, they feel like normal strings. And they lasted a lot longer.

**Q: are they supposed to be slippery? I am trying to learn guitar but trying a D chord results in my 3rd finger sliding**
A: According to D'Addario ... "XT strings feature an extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings".
Personally, I don't find them noticeably 'slippery'. I put mine on around December 10th, 2019 and they still feel clean & smooth. These are the first coated string I have tried. I understand other brands may be more 'slippery' than these. I can't exactly see what you are trying to do, so I can't comment on that.

**Q: Do either the xte1149 or the xse1149 have a wound g string (.018)?**
A: no

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some seriously long lasting strings
*by S***I on December 31, 2025*

I'm generally very picky with my strings, but I loved these. They sound nice and bright with plenty of sustain, and the tuning is stable as a table - pretty much a one and done tuning. They never came close to breaking, and it took weeks for them to full, even though I play for an hour or two every day. They're on the more expensive side, but think of it like you're paying for two packs of strings in one. Obviously your mileage may vary, depending on how sweaty your fingers get, but either way you'll be happy with these.
