10-46 Regular Light, XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings

D'Addario EXL110 XL Nickel 10–46 strings are the classic “feel just right” set that countless electric players reach for when they want bright response, easy bends, and rock-solid tuning. If you live in that sweet spot between slinky leads and firm rhythm work, this gauge hits the mark.

Features

These XL Nickel Wound electric guitar strings are built on a high carbon steel core with a nickel-plated steel wrap wire, precision wound onto a hexagonally shaped core. That construction gives them a consistent feel across the neck and dependable intonation that keeps chords in tune up and down the fretboard. The 10–46 Regular Light gauge is D’Addario’s most popular set for a reason—it balances tension and flexibility so you can dig in for chunky riffs, then snap into fluid vibrato and bends without a fight.

Made in the USA at D’Addario’s New York production facility, this set sits right in the tonal middle ground that works across fretted electric styles. Whether you’re chording hard, playing melodic lines, or living on the in-between pickup positions, these strings respond with a clear, familiar feel that makes you want to keep playing.

Tone

EXL110 XL Nickel strings deliver a bright, lively attack with a smooth top end that cuts without getting harsh. The nickel-plated wrap brings out punchy mids and a tight low end, so power chords stay focused and single-note lines have definition. They’re voiced for a wide range of electric tones—from clean chime and crisp funk to saturated rock and beyond—always keeping your sound articulate and responsive under the fingers.
