D'AddarioXS Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - 09 - 46
1/5
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
D'Addario XS Nickel 09-46 is an electric-guitar string set built with nickel-plated steel wrap wire, an NY Steel hexagonal core, and an ultrathin polymer coating. The coating creates a smooth playing surface while helping resist oxidation and corrosion. Fusion Twist construction secures the wrap more tightly to the core, supporting the set’s tuning stability and longer service life. Choose this exact 09-46 gauge when replacing an existing set in that range.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Routine electric-guitar restringing when you want a coated set with a smooth surface and corrosion resistance.
- Maintaining an electric guitar already set up for a 09-46 gauge string set.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars requiring a gauge other than 09-46.
