The 10-46 is the most popular electric guitar string gauge in the world and the XS version makes it last four times longer without changing the way it feels or sounds. D'Addario's ultra-thin polymer coating protects every string in the set from sweat, humidity, and the general abuse that comes with regular playing, and you genuinely cannot tell the difference in tone or touch compared to uncoated strings.

If you're gigging regularly, playing in humid conditions, or just tired of changing strings every couple of weeks, this is the upgrade that makes sense. We carry these at The Pied Piper of New Albany and our Charleston showroom and they're a smart pick for players across the Columbus metro including Westerville, Dublin, Gahanna, Powell, and beyond.
