The 10-46 set that keeps its tone (and tuning) longer
The D'Addario XS Nickel redefine the idea of coated strings: high protection, but with a naturally smooth feel and a tone that stays lively. The XS coating is applied on each wound string, while the plain strings receive a specific treatment to limit oxidation and maintain a crisp pick response.
In this 10-46 Regular Light gauge (the most popular), you get a very versatile balance between playing comfort and tonal density: soft enough for bends, yet substantial enough for precise rhythms. Add the NY Steel core and Fusion Twist, and you have a set designed to withstand aggressive attacks, stay stable both in the studio and on stage, and maintain rich harmonics, beautiful clarity, and remarkable note definition.
