A Modern Sound, Rooted In Tradition
D'Addario XL Pure Nickel strings look back to the '50s, when nickel was the primary alloy found in electric guitar strings. Pure Nickel brings back the richer, warmer timbres found in traditional blues, classic rock, rockabilly, and more.
"D'Addario's Pure Nickel formula made me a believer!"
– Dweezil Zappa
"I’ve used XL Pure Nickel for my entire career. D'Addario strings have the perfect balance of brightness, warmth, longevity, and playability."
– George Lynch
"I use D’Addario strings on acoustic and electric to get the exact tone I want. It's fun to play a string that’s built well and feels good."
– Eric Johnson
