Wound with a nickel-plated steel wrap wire known for its distinctive bright tone and magnetic output, each XL string delivers a versatile sound for all playing styles. D'Addario's XL range of electric guitar strings feature XL ProSteels XL Nickel Wound XL Coated Nickel XL Half Rounds XL Pure Nickel XL Chromes XL Prosteels - Super Bright, High Output D'Addario XL ProSteels utilise an exclusive corrosion-resistant steel alloy that delivers super-bright tone without shrill overtones. They offer a palette of harmonically rich, brilliantly penetrating highs combined with pronounced, tight-and-tough lows. XL Nickel Wound- Bright, Perfect for Every Playing Style XL Nickel Wound, D'Addario's most popular electric guitar strings are precision wound with nickel-plated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result—strings with long lasting, distinctive, bright tone and excellent intonation—is ideal for the widest variety of guitars and musical styles. XL Coated Nickel - Bright, Coated for Longer Lasting Tone & Lifespan EXP coated strings feature plain steel strings and hexagonal cores made from our revolutionary NY Steel. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured in New York, this break-resistant, high-carbon steel wire delivers unprecedented strength and pitch stability. Precision drawn and micro-coated on our advanced proprietary machinery, each EXP set maintains that familiar uncoated tone while considerably extending string life. XL Half Rounds - Smooth Feel Without Compromising Bright Tone D'Addario Half Rounds are round wound with stainless steel and then precision ground, leaving the outer surface smooth and "semi-flat." The result is a string with the tone and tension characteristics of round wound strings with a smoother feel, similar to flat wound strings. XL Pure Nickel - Vintage, Warm Tone D'Addario XL Pure Nickel strings look back to the '50s when nickel was the primary alloy found in electric guitar strings. Pure Nickel brings back the richer, warmer timbres found in traditional blues, classic rock, rockabilly, and more. XL Chromes - Flatwound, Deep & Rich Tone D'Addario XL Chromes are the industry standard in flat wound guitar strings. They deliver a round, full low end without losing punch, making them ideal for jazz players of all types. Wound with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire, XL Chromes are then polished to unparalleled smoothness. Review: Awesome - Amezing product. Working perfectly.

Anyone else have this issue?** A: From my years of selling D'addario strings, this is a very rare problem as opposed to other brands where it is a regular occurrence. Go to their website and I'm sure they will be happy to replace the defective strings. **Q: Why did the single string go from 69 cents or over $4?** A: You are comparing apples and oranges. A string might be $.69 but what was the shipping charge? You have to look at the total price which is why people who only buy items with "free shipping" often pay more than they should. To put a single string in a box (for protection) and ship it the postage is almost $3.00. Do a search for PL010 and you will find various "multi-packs" available. First Stop Music Shop custom packages both 5 and 10 packs of this string. **Q: Are the strings individually wrapped?** A: No, they are in a single poly bag inside the cardboard packet. **Q: Why are the .0135 $8? They are literally $.99 on Daddario's website. The ones being sold by amazon** A: Re-enter your search criteria. I paid $0.89 for individual ones and $3.99 for a pack of 5. From Amaxon. Must be a typo or mis-labeling you found on a page. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome *by V***T on 13 July 2025* Amezing product. Working perfectly. Build quality is excellent value for money.
