EXL120-10P XL Nickel 09–42 Light, 10-Pack | D'Addario | Musicmaker Dublin
Fresh strings, easy bends and ten sets ready for action. The D'Addario EXL120-10P XL Nickel Super Light 09–42 pack is a guitarist's secret weapon against dull tone and last-minute restringing panic. Ten complete sets of D'Addario's hugely popular XL Nickel Wound strings, all in one handy pack. Lovely stuff.
The 09–42 Super Light gauge is all about effortless playability. The lighter string tension makes bends, vibrato and quick lead passages feel wonderfully fluid, particularly for players who prefer a softer touch. They're also a great choice for beginners finding their feet on electric guitar, helping make those early chord shapes and finger exercises a little more comfortable.
Tone-wise, D'Addario's nickel-plated steel winding delivers the familiar bright, punchy sound that's made XL strings a staple on stages and in studios for decades. Expect crisp highs, a lively midrange and enough low-end definition for everything from jangly indie rhythms to blues licks and high-gain rock solos.
The precision-wound strings use D'Addario's hexagonal high-carbon steel cores for consistent performance, reliable intonation and a familiar response from set to set. No surprises when you open a fresh pack, which is exactly what you want before a gig.
And with ten sets in the box, there's plenty to keep your guitars sounding lively. Perfect for regular performers, teachers, guitar techs or anyone who enjoys the unmistakable snap of brand-new strings.
