D'Addario NW046 XL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Single String — .046
Classic XL Tone, One String at a Time
The D'Addario NW046 is a single .046 nickel wound electric guitar string from the XL family - the round-wound, nickel-plated formulation that has been the most-played electric string in the world for decades. Sold as a single to replace a broken wound string, swap a gauge, or build a custom set for drop and alternate tunings.
Bright, Articulate, Reliable
Round wound with precision-applied nickel-plated steel over a hex-shaped high-carbon steel core, it delivers the same bright, articulate tone players know from full XL sets. It is the wound string used on the D, A, and low-E positions of a standard electric set.
