XL Prosteels – Super Bright, High Output D’Addario XL ProSteels utilize 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.

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.
