XL Nickel Wound electric guitar strings are the standard against which all other strings are measured. Our best-selling electric set, XL Nickel has been revered by players everywhere since 1974. Made with a high carbon steel core and nickel-plated steel wrap wire, XL Nickel strings have a bright, versatile tone, ideal for a wide variety of musical styles. 10-46 Regular Light strings are our most popular gauge, providing a nice balance of tone and playability.

NYXLs will bend farther, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you’ve played before. As the premium uncoated electric string, NYXLs offer higher break strength, enhanced tuning stability, and accentuated mid-range frequency response, providing more presence and crunch to cut through the mix. Made with a NY Steel core, premium nickel-plated steel wrap wire, and Fusion Twist technology, NYXL electric guitar strings are tough enough and versatile enough to handle anything.
