Description
D’Addario XTE0946 XT Electric Guitar Strings are a Regular Light 09-46 set created for players who want an easy playing top end with a solid, confident low end. The slinky feel on the treble strings encourages bends, slides and vibrato, while the firmer bass strings keep rhythm parts tight and focused. Whether you are moving up from basic factory strings or you are an experienced player who needs a reliable all round set for rehearsals and gigs, this gauge covers a wide range of styles including rock, pop, worship and blues, and suits standard scale electric guitars with fixed or tremolo bridges in concert pitch.
Features
Balanced 09-46 playability
The Regular Light 09-46 gauge delivers a lively, responsive top end for effortless lead work alongside a reassuringly firm bottom end for tight rhythm playing. It is a versatile balance that suits standard tuning on most electric guitars, offering a familiar feel under the fingers without excessive tension.
Extended life XT treatment
A thin, low visibility XT treatment helps protect every string from sweat and humidity, preserving brightness and feel for longer than untreated sets. You get the benefit of longer lasting tone and a clean playing surface without the slippery sensation often associated with heavier coatings.
NY Steel core and Fusion Twist strength
High carbon NY Steel cores and Fusion Twist ends on the plain strings increase strength and tuning stability. The result is fast settling after installation, fewer retunes during a session and improved resistance to breakage when bending or using vibrato aggressively.
Nickel plated roundwound tone
Nickel plated steel roundwound windings provide a clear attack with musical warmth that suits a wide range of amps and pedals. Expect articulate highs, a focused midrange and a tight, punchy low end that sits well in a band mix and records cleanly.
