A Reliable Replacement String to Keep Your Guitar at Its Best
The D'Addario NW049 is a nickel-wound string in .049 gauge, designed for electric guitar. Whether you broke a string during rehearsal, want to secure your backup set, or are building a custom set tailored to your tuning and playing style, this single string is a simple and effective solution. Its gauge provides solid low-end tension, useful for maintaining a stable feel under the fingers and a clear pick response.
The XL Sound: Bright, Precise, and Versatile
Part of the best-selling D'Addario XL range, the NW049 follows the formula that made the brand famous: a nickel-plated steel wire precisely wound around a carefully machined carbon steel core. The result is a durable string with a distinctive bright tone, well-defined attack, and excellent intonation. It suits a wide range of electric guitars and musical styles, from rock and blues to more modern genres requiring clean and articulate lows.
