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 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product *by B***H on 16 July 2025* If u r looking for durability + tone… this is it ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Comfortable on fingers *by M***I on 6 October 2025* Excellent balanced tonal quality. Very smooth to play. Worth the price. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant ! *by G***A on 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.com.kw/products/181776991-xte0942-xt-nickel-plated-steel-electric-guitar-strings-super-light](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/181776991-xte0942-xt-nickel-plated-steel-electric-guitar-strings-super-light) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
