Product Details

SKU: EHR310

Coined the “third type of string,” XL Half Rounds are an innovative combination of round wound and flat wound strings. Half Rounds electric guitar strings have a smoother feel than round wound strings, but a fuller tone than strings which are flat wound. Made with a high carbon steel core and stainless steel wrap wire, they’re finished with a precision grinding process to provide a smooth feel and reduced finger noise, with tone that's comparable to round wound strings. 10-46 Regular Light strings are our most popular gauge, providing a nice balance of tone and playability.

Ideal For: Studio/Recording, All Genres, Nickel free

Made in the USA at our New York production facility.

How can I extend the life of my strings?

There are many factors that can affect the lifespan of your strings. Here are some tips to help extend the life of your strings:

1. Wipe down your strings after each use.

2. Try D'Addario XT or XS strings! Our two X Series options each use a distinct method to extend lifespan, while preserving the tone of uncoated strings.

Smooth, Half Rounds

D'Addario Half Rounds are round wound with Stainless Steel and then precision ground, leaving the outer surface smooth and "semi-flat." The result is a string with the flexibility and tension characteristics of round wound strings with a smoother feel, and semi-bright tone, similar to flat wound strings.
