I hate when a new string breaks! You probably can order a single string, but it's usually more "cost effective" to order another complete set of strings. You might want to check w/ a local music store; they may offer you a better price on single strings. **Q: I use nyxl’s & love them. how do these feel compared to nyxls? are they stiffer from the coating?** A: No, they feel like normal strings. And they lasted a lot longer. **Q: are they supposed to be slippery? I am trying to learn guitar but trying a D chord results in my 3rd finger sliding** A: According to D'Addario ... "XT strings feature an extended lifespan treatment on every string in the set, preserving the natural tone and feel of uncoated strings". Personally, I don't find them noticeably 'slippery'. I put mine on around December 10th, 2019 and they still feel clean & smooth. These are the first coated string I have tried. I understand other brands may be more 'slippery' than these. I can't exactly see what you are trying to do, so I can't comment on that. **Q: Do either the xte1149 or the xse1149 have a wound g string (.018)?** A: no ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Value for Money *by on Reviewed in India 28 May 2024* I am a professional guitar player, and I can really vouch for these strings they are really built to last long, especially if you do heavy string bending while playing guitar solos.The notes ring very precisely and the balance of tones in terms of strings vibrating frequency is pretty accurate.Price is slightly high but keep this in mind that this is a long-time purchase, they are really extra strongMy string buying frequency or in other words string break frequency has drastically reduced after using these strings.Keep Rocking ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable on fingers *by on Reviewed in India 6 October 2025* Excellent balanced tonal quality. Very smooth to play. Worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant ! *by on Reviewed in India 8 October 2022* Amazing strings. I used to use Elixir optiwebs but recently all the ones available in Amazon are fakes so not buying those anymore. Bought these after some research and they are more then a worthy replacement. Bright tone, lots of chime, stable tuning and just feel really good on the fingers while playing. Simply a great choice for the price. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XT Nickel Coated Electric Guitar Strings - XTE0942 - Extended String Life with Natural Tone & Feel - For 6 String Guitars - 09-42 Super Light - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - D'Addario NYXL1046 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, Regular Light, 10-46 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/181776991-daddario-xte0942-xt-nickel-plated-steel-electric-guitar-strings-super](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/181776991-daddario-xte0942-xt-nickel-plated-steel-electric-guitar-strings-super) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-25*
