D’Addario XS Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings XSE1046-3P

Es la primera vez que compro de estas cuerdas y la verdad me agradaron bastante, ya llevo 4 semanas con ellas y no se han hecho feas

These have a similar feel to a regular uncoated string. They sound fantastic and felt great the first 24 hours. After about 48 hours they started feeling gunky and crud was building up already. Was fun to try them out but I’ll stick with elixers.

Awesome electric guitar strings

Alright so first things first, are they expensive? Yes absolutely, you could g t much cheaper strings but let me tell you why I would argue these are way better value for the money. Their sound quality maintains no matter how long they’ve been on it seems. They almost never get dirty and I’ve never ever had one of these break. Typically I was always an elixir guy but these have made me a die hard fan. 5/5 do it you won’t regret it!

Feel:
If you’re reading this you’re probably not one of those “coated strings suck” snobs. But if you are, let me say these strings don’t behave like coated strings, except for their playability and longevity aspect. They feel sleek, slippery, but not artificially so. Even the non-wound high strings stay slippery, they don’t get that chunky, rusty feel after a couple weeks, they are a real pleasure to play!

Stability & longevity:
I’ve been playing for about 30 years, and I don’t notice any tuning issues that I didn’t notice with other strings, coated or not, so as far as I can tell stability isn’t an issue. I used to use Elixirs (for longevity) but the last 2 or 3 years it’s only D’Addario XS for me, for acoustics and electrics. No joke, I got 1.5 years out of these on my acoustic. Granted I don’t play it every day, but weekly, yes. I regularly get 5 or 6 months on my electrics which I play nearly daily. YMMV as with anything, but I’m telling you these are the real deal, there is no better string at the time of this writing, in my humble opinion.

Sound:
Electric sound- who cares; there’s so much more to your sound than the strings on an electric, so play strings that feel good and last, agree with me or not but that’s my advice.
Acoustic sound- well, if you’re a sound snob for your acoustics, you may -or may not- like these. They don’t seem as bright and nasally as Elixirs, but they are bright and crisp, for what I like my acoustics to sounds like they’re perfect for me. If you have a spruce top, you may think they’re extra bright, my main one is solid mahogany so they work wonderful. Again, YMMV if you seek a specific sound from acoustic strings based on your guitar’s wood or top type.

Muy buenas cuerdas, es increíble la suavidad qué tienen para hacer slides y no ejercen ese ruido cuando pasas de Power Chrod a otros, eh tenido y usado eli×ir y no es lo mismo, están son suaves y tienen un muy buen tono, las uso en mi Jackson King V KVXMG y no volveré a usar de ningun otro modelo.
