Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
D'Addario XT .010–.046 Custom strings bring the XT coated-string format to electric guitar in a .010–.046 set. Each string receives XT coating for corrosion resistance and consistency, over a NY Steel core with nickel-plated steel wrap wire. The coating is designed to retain the natural feel of uncoated strings without the slippery response associated with some coated options. Color-coded ball ends simplify sorting during a restring, while the corrosion-resistant packaging is intended to protect the set in storage and transit.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Electric-guitar players choosing the supplied .010–.046 Custom gauge set.
- Players who want corrosion resistance while retaining an uncoated-string feel.
- Organized restringing, aided by color-coded ball ends and protective packaging.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need a gauge other than the .010–.046 Custom set.
