## Description

From the manufacturer XT Electric Guitar D’Addario XT Strings use groundbreaking lifespan-increasing technology on every string, to bring you enhanced pitch stability and lasting performance—all while preserving the tone and feel of your favorite untreated strings. These strings are made to stay, for performance that never fades away. Say Goodbye to Sonic Sacrifices The harmonics of an XT string ring out just as long and clear as those of an uncoated string.

Review: Great tone/feel easy to bend. - I like these strings very much. Unlike other reviewers, mine came bundled in 2s and were a step ahead in quality compared to Elixir strings which I used before this. They really feel great. I've got them a half tone down in Eb tuning and that just makes them better. The best strings on the planet.
Review: Expensive but durable - I usually go for D'Addario NYXL strings, which are the best in my opinion. However, they rust very fast in the hot and humid Indian weather so I decided to try these. The coating makes playing feel smooth. There is no muddiness in the tone. After 1 month of regular use in the monsoon season I see no sign of rust. However I will have to observe for a couple more months before I give my verdict. The NYXLs last at least 3 months. Hope the price is justified...

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Am i able to get a replacement for my g string for 09/46, i just got my order yesterday, also my g string snapped.**
A: Argh! I hate when a new string breaks! 

You probably can order a single string, but it's usually more "cost effective" to order another complete set of strings.

You might want to check w/ a local music store; they may offer you a better price on single strings.

**Q: I use nyxl’s & love them. how do these feel compared to nyxls? are they stiffer from the coating?**
A: No, they feel like normal strings. And they lasted a lot longer.

**Q: are they supposed to be slippery? I am trying to learn guitar but trying a D chord results in my 3rd finger sliding**
A: According to D'Addario ... "XT strings feature an extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings".
Personally, I don't find them noticeably 'slippery'. I put mine on around December 10th, 2019 and they still feel clean & smooth. These are the first coated string I have tried. I understand other brands may be more 'slippery' than these. I can't exactly see what you are trying to do, so I can't comment on that.

**Q: Do either the xte1149 or the xse1149 have a wound g string (.018)?**
A: no
