Smooth feel takes getting used to
The coated feel is very slick compared to plain steel. It took me a day to adjust my picking attack, but now I love the speed and reduced finger noise.

Consistent intonation
Switched from another brand and immediately noticed better intonation across the fretboard. The 7th string stays in tune remarkably well during aggressive playing.

Perfect for heavy riffing
These strings handle drop tuning incredibly well without losing tension or clarity. The coating really does extend the life; I've been playing these for three weeks and they still sound fresh.

Best 7-string set on the market
D'Addario continues to lead the pack. These strings offer the perfect balance between flexibility for bends and stiffness for tight low-end chugging.

No more rust issues
I have sweaty hands and usually kill strings in a few days. The XS coating is a game changer. No rust, no grime buildup, and the feel is smooth under my fingers.

Great tone, slightly pricey
The sound quality is exceptional, very bright and articulate even on the low B string. They are a bit more expensive than uncoated sets, but the longevity makes up for it.
Q: How long does the coating typically last compared to uncoated strings?
A: The XS coating is designed to last 3 to 5 times longer than uncoated strings by preventing corrosion from sweat and humidity while maintaining tone.
Q: Are these strings compatible with a baritone scale guitar?
A: Yes, these strings work well on baritone scale guitars (27 inches and above), providing excellent tension for low tunings like Drop A or lower.
Q: Does the .056 low B string feel floppy in standard 7-string tuning?
A: On a standard 25.5-inch scale, the .056 provides a balanced tension. For tighter feel in standard tuning, some players prefer our .059 gauge set, but this set is optimized for Drop D versatility.
Q: Is the packaging eco-friendly?
A: Yes, D'Addario has transitioned to using recyclable materials for the XS series packaging to reduce environmental impact without compromising string protection.
Q: Can I use these on a guitar with a floating tremolo system?
A: Absolutely. The high-carbon steel core provides stable tension which helps maintain tuning stability on floating bridge systems after proper stretching and setup.
