D’Addario has two main lines of coated strings: XS and XT. Once electric guitar strings have been constructed, they may also undergo an additional process called “coating.” Coating adds a chemical substance to the outside of the strings to prevent corrosion. So, while standard electric strings are round wound, D’Addario has a few which are flat round or half round, meaning they’ve been ground down in some way to change the tone and feel. An additional caveat to the above explanation is that some windings have a different texture, not merely a different alloy. The wrap wire, or winding, for D’Addario electric strings varies from set to set, and often gives the set its unique tonal characteristics, as well as its name. This high carbon steel also forms the core wire of wound strings. This allows them to achieve a higher pitch.ĭ'Addario plain steel strings are most often made with high carbon steel. Plain steels are thinner, are made from one type of alloy, and do not have winding. By contrast, the other three strings in an electric set are “plain steels,” usually E, B, & G. The wound strings are the lower strings on the guitar, usually E, A, & D, (and sometimes G), which are thicker due to the “winding.” Wound strings and the term winding come from the way these strings are constructed-using a hexagonally-shaped steel wire at the core, with another type of metal wire wound around it. Sets of D’Addario electric strings include two types of strings: plain steel and wound strings. D’Addario electric guitar strings are made in the USA to the highest standards of engineering, ensuring the best sound, feel, and strength, no matter how you play.
