Keep a matching supply of 10–46 electric sets on hand with this three-pack of D’Addario XS Nickel strings. The XS coating is designed to extend string life while keeping the playing surface smooth and quick. NY Steel core wire, nickel-plated steel wraps and Fusion Twist technology underpin the set’s strength and tuning stability. D’Addario also attributes richer harmonics, clarity and definition to the design, so slides, bends and picking detail remain clearly presented.
