D’Addario XSE0946 XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings – 009–046

D’Addario XSE0946 XS Nickel is a 009–046 coated string set for electric guitar. It combines nickel-plated steel wrap wire with XS coating technology for extended string life and a smooth, fast feel.

XS protection with a smooth feel

The ultra-thin XS film coating helps extend string life while maintaining a smooth playing feel. From regular practice to rehearsals and performances, this set is designed for players who want coated electric strings without a bulky feel.

Bright nickel-plated steel tone

The reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers a bright tone with bite and sustain. XS Nickel is nickel-plated steel, not pure nickel: choose Nickel-Plated Steel when comparing string materials.

NY Steel and Fusion Twist

A NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology are designed to improve break strength and tuning stability, helping the strings withstand demanding playing.
