D’Addario XSE1046 Coated Electric Guitar Strings - Regular Light 10-46

The D'Addario XSE1046 strings bring together the classic feel and tone of nickel wound electric strings with D'Addario's advanced XS ultra-thin coating technology. This micro-treatment coating forms an invisible barrier against sweat, humidity, and skin oils — the primary causes of string corrosion — without adding any of the slick, artificial feel associated with traditional coated strings. Regular light gauge delivers the versatile tension that suits a wide range of playing styles, from rhythm to lead, making the XSE1046 an ideal everyday string for gigging and recording musicians.
