It is a reliable solution for replacing a worn string or fine-tuning your gauge without changing your playing habits.
Designed for Precision, Stability, and Definition
Precisely wound on CNC machines, the XLB130 aims for exemplary consistency from string to string: stable intonation, uniform feel under the fingers, and consistent response. Its nickel-plated steel offers excellent interaction with pickups, with well-defined fundamentals and a distinctive brightness that remains musical.
