The D’Addario XS Nickel 11-49 Medium set delivers bold tone, longer life, and a smooth feel for demanding players. Each nickel-plated steel string is treated with D’Addario’s ultra-thin XS coating—so thin it’s nearly invisible—to keep your sound bright and consistent through countless hours of play. The NY Steel core and Fusion Twist technology boost tuning stability and break resistance, letting you play harder with confidence.

This 11-49 gauge offers a little extra tension for a firm, authoritative feel, perfect for players who dig in or play in lower tunings. Expect rich mids, crisp attack, and beautifully defined low end, all wrapped in a silky-smooth texture that reduces finger noise and fatigue. Reliable, expressive, and long-lasting—the XS Nickel Medium set redefines coated string performance. Gauges: E4 .011, B3 .014, G3 .018, D3 .028, A2 .038, E2 .049.
