Get smooth, long-lasting coated tone with the D’Addario XSE0942 XS Nickel-Plated Steel Coated Electric Guitar Strings (.009–.042 Super Light), available at Irvine Art and Music. This 9–42 set is a great fit for easy bends, fast playing, and a lighter overall feel—while still delivering the bright, familiar punch of nickel-plated steel.

D’Addario’s XS design pairs an ultra-thin coating with a NY Steel hex core and Fusion Twist construction to help extend string life, reduce finger noise, and support stable tuning and intonation for daily practice, gigging, and recording.
