The XL110 set provides a Regular Light gauge with balanced tension that's ideal for most players and styles. You can count on the XL Nickel Wound strings to keep you in tune and in the creative zone.

Premium Materials and Precision Winding

D'Addario has been innovating strings since 1680, and the XL Nickel Wound series exemplifies their commitment to quality. The hexagonal core provides more surface area to grip the wrap wire, enhancing tuning stability and sustain. The nickel-plated steel wrap is resistant to corrosion while producing a crisp, cutting tone. And D'Addario's state-of-the-art winding machines ensure that each string has the same tight, uniform windings, so you get the same tone and feel with every new pack.

A Gage for Every Player

The XL110 Regular Light gauge, at .010 to .046, provides a versatile tone and balanced tension that suits most musical styles. But D'Addario offers XL Nickel Wound strings in gauges from Super Light to Medium, so you can choose the perfect match for your guitar, playing style, and tonal preferences. The XL115 Light Top/Heavy Bottom set provides more low-end grunt. The XL120 Medium set has a warmer, fuller tone. Or drop down to an XL100 Super Light set for breezy bends and effortless shredding.
