Premium Coated Electric Guitar Strings - Super Light Top/Medium Bottom 9-46
Get the perfect hybrid balance with extended lifespan using D'Addario XS Coated 9-46 Electric Guitar Strings. This super light top/medium bottom gauge combines effortless bending on the high strings with solid, punchy tone on the lows, all protected by D'Addario's ultra-thin XS coating for up to 4x longer string life without sacrificing tone or feel.
XS Coating Technology - Maximum Lifespan
XS strings feature D'Addario's thinnest coating ever applied to every wound and plain string in the set. This ultra-thin, polymer treatment protects against corrosion from sweat, humidity, and skin oils without affecting tone or feel. Unlike thicker coatings that can feel slippery or dull, XS strings maintain the bright, natural tone and tactile response of uncoated strings while lasting up to 4 times longer.
Super Light Top/Medium Bottom 9-46 - Versatile Hybrid Gauge
The 9-46 hybrid gauge is ideal for players who want the easy bending and fast playability of super light strings on top, combined with the fuller tone and better tuning stability of medium gauge strings on the bottom. This combination works exceptionally well for blues, rock, and country players who need to bend the high strings effortlessly while maintaining solid rhythm tone. The XS coating ensures this perfect balance lasts 4x longer than uncoated strings.
