D'Addario XSNW024 Single Guitar String

D'Addario XSNW024 XS Nickel-Plated Steel Electric Guitar Single String .024

The D'Addario XSNW024 is a single replacement electric guitar string in .024" gauge, built with reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a steel core and finished with the brand's ultra-thin XS film coating. As part of the XS Electric Series, this string is engineered for players who want the bright, articulate tone of nickel-plated steel combined with the longest string life D'Addario offers in its electric lineup. The round-wound construction preserves the crisp attack and harmonic richness that electric guitarists expect from a fresh string, while the XS coating protects against corrosion from sweat, humidity, and frequent playing. Whether you need to replace a broken .024 or build a custom hybrid set, this single string delivers consistent tone and reliable intonation across the fretboard.

Who This String Is For

This .024 single is the right choice for electric guitarists who need a replacement string or want to assemble a custom gauge set tailored to their playing style. It suits players across all genres — rock, blues, country, jazz, metal — who want the bright, cutting tone of nickel-plated steel with the extended lifespan that the XS coating provides. Gigging musicians, teachers, and students who break strings frequently will appreciate having a spare on hand, while tone-conscious players can use singles like this to fine-tune the tension and feel of their existing set. Made in D'Addario's New York production facility — part of a string-making tradition that began in Salle, Italy in 1680 — it ships individually packaged for easy storage in a guitar case or gig bag.
