D’addario Xs Coated Electric Strings

Long life. Legendary tone. Zero compromise.

The D’Addario XS Electric Strings bring cutting-edge coating technology to the world of electric guitar, offering ultra-long string life without sacrificing tone, clarity, or feel. Engineered with a super-thin film coating on every wound string and a unique polymer treatment on the plain steels, XS strings resist corrosion and wear while retaining the brightness, bite, and dynamic punch that modern players demand.

Designed for players who gig, record, and practice regularly, XS Electric Strings feel smooth and fast under the fingers — not slick or plasticky — and they stay fresh far longer than traditional strings. Whether you’re into crunchy rhythm, glassy cleans, or high-gain leads, these strings deliver consistent tuning stability, balanced output, and premium performance from the first bend to the last note.
