A D'Addario Standard for Clear and Durable Electric Sound
The D'Addario NW070 is a nickel-plated wound string with a.070 gauge designed for electric guitar. Intended for musicians who want to replace a string identically or build a custom gauge set, it naturally fits into a set geared towards low tunings and powerful playing styles. Its large diameter provides a firmer feel under the fingers and better stability, especially when tuning down.
The XL Nickel Wound Series: Brightness, Intonation, and Reliability
Part of the XL Nickel Wound range, one of D'Addario's most popular series, this string is made from a nickel-plated steel wire precisely wound around a carefully machined carbon steel core. The result: a clear attack, characteristic brightness, excellent intonation, and durability suited for both rehearsals and stage use. A reliable choice to cover a wide range of guitars and styles, from rock to metal and modern tones requiring defined lows.
