D'addario 10-46 Regular Light, XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings

Play Longer. Bend Smoother. Tone That Stays Fresh.

The D’Addario XS Nickel 10–46 Regular Light Set offers the sweet spot of versatile tone and effortless feel, now enhanced with cutting-edge XS coating technology that keeps your strings sounding and playing better for longer. Whether you’re gigging, recording, or practising late into the night, these strings deliver the bright snap of nickel with ultra-smooth touch and next-gen durability.

With a classic 10–46 gauge range, this set is ideal for players who love balanced string tension, excellent note definition, and seamless transitions from rhythm to lead. The high-carbon NY steel core ensures superior tuning stability, while the nickel-plated windings provide a crisp, responsive sound across clean and overdriven tones alike.

The magic is in the super-thin XS film coating, applied to every wound string for longer life and smoother feel, all without compromising tone or brightness. The plain steel strings are polymer-treated to match, giving you a uniform feel and consistent tone from top to bottom.

At Musicmaker, we recommend these strings for players who value comfort, clarity, and longevity in a truly professional-grade set.
