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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07TFZ5GDC | | Best Sellers Rank | #651 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #15 in Electric Guitar Strings | | Body Material Type | Nickel Plated Steel | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | Coated | | Color | Nickel | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 5,218 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954308872 | | Instrument | Electric Guitar | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Strings, Regular Light, | | Item Weight | 0.25 Grams | | Manufacturer | D'Addario | | Manufacturer Part Number | XTE1046 | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | XTE1046 | | Model Number | XTE1046 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Electric Guitar | | Set Name | 1-Pack | | Sound Profile | Bright and Clear | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Nickel-Plated | | UPC | 019954308872 | | Warranty Description | Replaced if defective. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Color:** Nickel - **Instrument:** Electric Guitar - **String Gauge:** Light - **String Material Type:** Nickel-Plated ## Images ![XT Coated Nickel - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71GXbpEHkLL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## 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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Strings *by R***! on February 4, 2026* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings *by L***N on October 5, 2025* 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. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Electric Guitar Strings, XT Nickel Coated, XTE1046, Regular Light Gauge 10-46, 6-String Set, Pack of 1 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XT Phosphor Bronze Coated Acoustic Guitar Strings - XTAPB1253 - Extended String Life with Natural Tone & Feel - For 6 String Guitars - 12-53 Light --- ## 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.bo/products/156641874-xt-coated-nickel](https://www.desertcart.bo/products/156641874-xt-coated-nickel) --- *Product available on Desertcart Bolivia* *Store origin: BO* *Last updated: 2026-06-04*
