D'Addario XTE0946 XT Nickel Wound electric guitar strings are designed for players who want the natural feel and tone of traditional strings with enhanced durability and tuning stability. This hybrid 9-46 gauge combines super light trebles for easier bends with heavier bottom strings that provide fuller rhythm tone and stronger low-end response.
Built with D'Addario’s XT coating technology, the XTE0946 set delivers extended string life while maintaining a familiar playing feel and balanced tonal character. Whether you're playing rock, blues, worship, pop, country, or modern lead guitar styles, these strings provide dependable performance for both stage and studio use.
The super light top and regular bottom combination gives players the best of both worlds. Lighter plain strings make bending and lead work feel effortless, while the heavier wound strings add stability and punch for rhythm playing and drop tunings.
D'Addario XT strings are popular among players who want longer string life without the overly slick feel some coated strings can produce. The XT treatment helps preserve tone and feel while improving durability for frequent rehearsals, gigs, and recording sessions.
The 9-46 gauge is especially useful for guitarists who switch between expressive lead playing and tighter rhythm work during the same performance.
Since 1939, Roxy Music has helped guitar players find gear that fits their playing style and musical goals. Our staff includes working musicians who understand how string gauge and construction affect feel, tone, and tuning response.
