Beneath the coating, XT Nickel are made with a NY Steel core, nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, resulting in added resilience and tonal versatility, excellent for a wide range of musical styles. EARN REWARD POINTS with the code on the recyclable, resealable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points.

Review: Great strings - I almost exclusively use D'Addarios on my acoustic guitars, and decided to try these out on my sons ESP. The strings have pretty good tone. The claim that these guitar strings fall out of tune less than others seems true so far. He's been playing on these for about a week now and so far so good.
Review: Excellent Strings ! - These 09/42 D'Addario Guitar strings are a great addition to my style of playing. The gauge is just right for those string bends on soulful leads. They stay in tune when you stretch them out. They last a long time depending how much you play and clean afterwards with a microfiber cloth. You might like a different gauge depending on how you play but these are just right for me. The price is much better than the guitar shops in town. I'll purchase again !

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Am i able to get a replacement for my g string for 09/46, i just got my order yesterday, also my g string snapped.**
A: Argh! I hate when a new string breaks! 

You probably can order a single string, but it's usually more "cost effective" to order another complete set of strings.

You might want to check w/ a local music store; they may offer you a better price on single strings.

**Q: I use nyxl’s & love them. how do these feel compared to nyxls? are they stiffer from the coating?**
A: No, they feel like normal strings. And they lasted a lot longer.

**Q: are they supposed to be slippery? I am trying to learn guitar but trying a D chord results in my 3rd finger sliding**
A: According to D'Addario ... "XT strings feature an extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings".
Personally, I don't find them noticeably 'slippery'. I put mine on around December 10th, 2019 and they still feel clean & smooth. These are the first coated string I have tried. I understand other brands may be more 'slippery' than these. I can't exactly see what you are trying to do, so I can't comment on that.

**Q: Do either the xte1149 or the xse1149 have a wound g string (.018)?**
A: no

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some seriously long lasting strings
*by S***I on December 31, 2025*

I'm generally very picky with my strings, but I loved these. They sound nice and bright with plenty of sustain, and the tuning is stable as a table - pretty much a one and done tuning. They never came close to breaking, and it took weeks for them to full, even though I play for an hour or two every day. They're on the more expensive side, but think of it like you're paying for two packs of strings in one. Obviously your mileage may vary, depending on how sweaty your fingers get, but either way you'll be happy with these.
