## Questions & Answers

**Q: Am i able to get a replacement for my g string for 09/46, i just got my order yesterday, also my g string snapped.**
A: Argh! 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

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Professional level strings👍
*by M***R on 16 December 2025*

Bought it for my acoustic guitar as an experiment...and it sounded too good. The strings are smooth and can handle rust. The vibration even reached till my foot. It's totally magic. There was no defect in the product, absolutely trustable.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great strings for electric guitars
*by M***I on 8 July 2026*

Excellent Quality strings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing durability and long lasting crisp tone!
*by R***H on 6 September 2021*

/*Reviews given after using the strings for over 4 months almost everyday for at least 3 hours.*/ Value for money: 5 / 5 Sound: 5 / 5 Tone: 6 / 5 (not a typo. Actually wanted to give these srings a great score. If you want a crisp tone, don't go looking for any other strings. This is the one!!) Durability: 5 / 5 (I wrote this review not because I'm going to change my strings but because I realised that it's been over 4 months and I've not changed my strings AND THESE STILL SOUND NEW AND CRISP!) Coating on the strings: 5 / 5 (didn't see any difference in the tone after listening the first recording done when these were new and the new recording done just a day before I wrote this review which means the coating does what it's supposed to. Also, for the people who are concerned about the flaking of the coating, don't be.) Rusting/Corrosion: 0% (checked for rusts/corrosion and did not see any)
