D'AddarioGuitar Strings - XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings - XSE1046 - Maximum Life with Smooth Feel & Exceptional Tone - For 6 String Guitars - 10-46 Regular Light

These strings are great for Les Paul shaped guitars. With the strings having 11s at the bottom is great for grunty sound you get from a Les Paul. Then having the regular top strings are good for tapping and pitch bends in my opinion.They should last over a year as they are very thinly coated, and they a nice slippy feel ideal for shredding.

I gotta be honest i was really apprehensive about buying these XS electric guitar strings out as I had already tried the acoustic version a long time ago when they first came out and i wasn't impressed to be honest.I opted for the light gauge 10/46 set for my PRS S2 Standard 24 which has a 25" scale neck and these feel perfect to me on it .It has the right amount of tension but ability for string bending on the treble strings without too much problems or fatigue on the fingers.I've only just put these on my guitar today 15/8/24.So only time will tell how long they will actually last as they are not cheap strings.They do feel very nice to play I actually prefer the feel of the coating on the wound strings on these XS to Elixirs but that's only my opinion.At the moment I'm very happy with my purchase and can't see why I wouldn't buy these D'Addario XS 10/46 gauge strings again.A☆☆☆☆☆

I love these strings,I've been using D'Addario nickels for years and even as good as they are I noticed I was getting more finger noise from them,I've tried other coated strings but didn't like the feeling of them,then I saw these and even though there a bit more expensive I thought I'd give them a try,I'm glad I did,no noise lovely tone and just as important they feel good,if they last 3 months it'll actually work out cheaper and as I have a few guitars I'll change them all to these,if you're on the fence just give them a shot,I'm certain you'll like them

I bought these to fit to an electro-acoustic hybrid, replacing the recommended Elixir Nanowebs. These are sold as electric strings, so I was expecting to pay a price when the guitar is unplugged and - sure enough - they're pretty dull played just as an acoustic.However I fitted them because, plugged in with the body sensor pickup engaged, the Nanowebs are way too bright and the string squeak on the wounds is unbearable. These are definitely better in that respect, both quieter and smoother to play with a much more realistic acoustic sound from the body sensor. They snap in and hold tune really well once fitted and gently stretched, and are also easier to bend than the Elixir 11-49s they replaced. We'll have to see how they last compared to coated strings.In summary, I'd recommend trying these on a hybrid (I'm sure they work well on a solid body). I'm not a huge fan of the way they're packaged (I prefer my strings separated) but the Players Circle points and promotions are a neat touch.

Let's get it out the way, yes these strings are expensive compared to the standard D'Addario line and other brands however this cost is outweighed by the fact I've had to change my strings less frequently. I appreciate that coated strings aren't for everyone but these are unreal. The tuning stability (usually my indicator for when I need to change strings) is great and they stay bright sounding and feel new for longer. I've never had one of these strings break on me and the only reason I had to change my last set was that I damaged one string by bumping my guitar. When I did change them all I had were a standard set of D'Addario Nickel Wound strings and the difference was immediately noticeable.If you're someone who finds themselves changing their strings all the time then there may be more financially viable options however I can't see myself using any other string in the future.

I've been using D'Addario nickel-coated electric guitar strings for several months now, and they've become my go-to choice for both rehearsals and live performances.Tone & Feel:These strings offer a bright, articulate tone with a slight midrange boost, making solos and riffs stand out in the mix. The nickel coating provides a smooth feel under the fingers, facilitating easy bends and slides without sacrificing grip.Durability:One of the standout features is their longevity. The nickel coating resists corrosion effectively, even with frequent playing and exposure to varying environments. I've noticed they retain their tone and playability longer than some other brands I've tried.Tuning Stability:Tuning stability has been impressive. Once stretched properly, these strings hold their pitch well, reducing the need for constant retuning during gigs.Value:Considering their performance and durability, these strings offer excellent value. They're priced competitively and deliver consistent quality, making them a reliable choice for regular use.Final Thoughts:D'Addario nickel-coated electric guitar strings strike a great balance between tone, feel, and durability. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional musician, these strings are worth considering for your setup.

Was recommended these by my guitar tech and they have been great to use, they have a waxy feel to them which makes them last a lot longer.
