Using a high-carbon steel hex core and nickel-plated steel wrap wire they provide a bright, powerful tone which works for almost every style of playing. These are durable, reliable, stable, and most importantly consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA brief history of the D'Addario XL series:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD'Addario pioneered the modern guitar string with the XL range. These were the strings that really put the D'Addario brand at the forefront of guitar strings where they’ve led ever since.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXLs were a result of necessity and some significant innovation in string making. The first was the utilising of a hexagonally-shaped steel core. A first in guitar strings, this core benefits from six points of contact which dig into the wrap wire allowing it to grip far better where it could otherwise slip on a round core. The additional benefit of the hex core is superior intonation and stability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD'Addario’s second great innovation was the production and incorporation of machine-winding which alleviates all of the issues and inconsistencies of hand-winding - D'Addario is still the most consistent string making brand in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd finally, the effects of war forced manufactures to look for alternatives to the skyrocketing price of nickel which was required for bullets, etc... . This led to D'Addario creating and utilising nickel-plated steel which has now become \u003cem\u003ethe\u003c\/em\u003e industry standard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce combined with their own in-house wire-drawing and sourcing of raw materials D'Addario strings quickly became the leader in electric guitar strings!\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"D'Addario","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45003221041446,"sku":"EXL110","price":7.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7131\/9590\/products\/EXL110_detail1_hi-res.jpg?v=1689009974"},{"product_id":"rotosound-swing-bass-rs66ln-bass-strings-45-100-nickel","title":"Rotosound Swing Bass Nickel Wound 45-100 Bass Guitar Strings, Long Scale [RS66LN]","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e**PLEASE NOTE** These strings measure 37.25\" \/ 94.5cm from the ball end to the start of the silk winding.

No two pieces of bone are the same. From a musical standpoint, this can dramatically affect the tonal response across the nut or saddle and therefore its ability to effectively transfer the vibrations of the string to the instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a bid to combat these issues, the TUSQ range was born. All TUSQ nuts are precision-engineered and specially formulated to improve upon these imperfections and some more. Its unique properties deliver other numerous benefits which dramatically enhance a guitar’s natural range and response across the whole tonal spectrum along with improved harmonic sustain. The material itself is also self-lubricating and is said to be 500% more slippery than graphite and helps prevent strings from binding or sticking in the nut which often leads to tuning issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTUSQ nuts come in the form of pre-slotted nuts, blank nuts (no string slots) and saddle slabs so you can sand and craft your exacting nut shape for your guitar if you would prefer. TUSQ is a very versatile material so can be easily sanded down using various grades of sandpaper (240 to 400 grades are recommended).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pre-slotted nuts are made to suit a wide variety of electric, acoustic and bass guitars manufactured today so you don't have to make the string slots yourself.

It may be surprising that such a small part plays such a vital role in shaping the playability, action and tone and isn't something that should be overlooked. As one of the few points of contact your strings make with your guitar, you can start to understand that a poorly fitted nut can play havoc with the tuning, sustain and performance of your instrument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I know if I need to replace my guitar's nut?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIt's not unusual for a guitar's nut to need changing and there are several factors that can cause this.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThrough years of playing a guitar's nut can become damaged or chipped. If the damage is around one of the string slots, this will almost certainly cause playability issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver its lifetime, the nut is subject to a lot of wear and experiences a huge amount of downward pressure from your guitar's strings. As a result, strings inevitably wear down the nuts slots. This wear is often uneven and can cause rough or sharp edges and often leads to string breakages. This wear can also create uneven string spacing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour strings move a lot over the nut through those big bends, tremolo use and tuning. This movement also causes wear meaning the slots in your nut can become too low affecting your guitar's action. If the action at the nut is too low, this can cause string buzz around the first few frets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are thinking of changing the gauge of strings you are putting on your guitar, you may wish to consider a new nut to be fitted. The sizing of the string slots should ideally be tailored to the gauge of strings you are using and if the slots are too low or too high you may come across some action and tuning issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are generally unhappy with your guitar's tone, making a small change such as changing the nut can make a dramatic difference to a guitar's performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graph Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45003225432358,"sku":"PT-M644-00","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7131\/9590\/files\/2023-03-09_152720015.png?v=1691498317"},{"product_id":"daddario-xtb32130-xt-coated-nickel-plated-steel-6-string-32-130-bass-guitar-strings-long-scale","title":"D'Addario XT Nickel Wound 32-130 6-String Bass Guitar Strings, Long Scale","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cb\u003e**PLEASE NOTE**\u003c\/b\u003e These strings measure \u003cb\u003e36.25\" \/ 92cm\u003c\/b\u003e from the ball end to the start of the taper.

All TUSQ nuts are precision engineered and specially formulated to improve upon these imperfections and some more. Its unique properties deliver other numerous benefits which dramatically enhance a guitarÂ’s natural range and response across the whole tonal spectrum along with improved harmonic sustain. The material itself is also self-lubricating and is said to be 500% more slippery than graphite and helps prevent strings from binding or sticking in the nut which often lead to tuning issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTUSQ nuts come in the form of pre-slotted nuts, blank nuts (no string slots) and saddle slabs so you can sand and craft your own exacting nut shape for your guitar if you would prefer.

It may be surprising that such a small part plays such a vital role in shaping the playability, action and tone and isn't something that should be overlooked.

If the damage is around one of the string slots, this will almost certainly cause playability issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOver it's lifetime, the nut is subject to a lot of wear and experiences a huge amount of downward pressure from your guitar's strings. As a result, strings inevitably wear down the nuts slots. This wear is often uneven and can cause rough or sharp edges and often leads to string breakages. This wear can also create uneven string spacing too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYour strings move a lot over the nut through those big bends, tremolo use and tuning. This movement also causes wear meaning the slots in your nut can become too low affecting your guitar's action. If the action at the nut is too low, this can cause string buzz around the first few frets.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are thinking of changing the gauge of strings you are putting on your guitar, you may wish to consider a new nut to be fitted. The sizing of the string slots should ideally be tailored to the gauge of strings you are using and if the slots are too low or too high you may come across some action and tuning issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf you are generally unhappy with your guitar's tone, making a small change such as changing the nut can make a dramatic difference to a guitar's performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Graph Tech","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45003232837926,"sku":"PQL-6011-00","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7131\/9590\/products\/1637231929-23618500_1e2b0fe3-f412-449d-a86e-da2ded8d18a2.jpg?v=1685105493"},{"product_id":"stringjoy-signatures-nickel-wound-9-42-electric-guitar-strings-balanced-super-light","title":"Stringjoy Signatures Nickel Wound 9-42 Electric Guitar Strings, Balanced Super Light","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eStringjoys Signatures sets are created using the very best American-made raw materials and feature a nickel-plated steel wrap wire wound over a hexagonal-shaped core wire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eSince their inception, Stringjoy have made it their goal to produce the very best strings they possibly can.  Their signatures are created using their very own specific manufacturing techniques that have been honed over the years and because of their obsession in perfecting this process, they are able to achieve a string with much tighter (closer together) winds.  This inherently makes the string smoother under the fingers.  It also helps increase output due to a higher mass and helps extend the lifespan of the strings as the tighter winds prevent any sweat and muck from permeating between the windings of the wound strings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eStringjoy are not scared to buck the trend either.  Rather than resorting to creating sets using the run-of-the-mill gauges we’re all accustomed to, you’ll notice that some of their gauges stray a little from the norm.  Stringjoy place a big focus on balance and their sets utilise their own ‘modern, reconstructed’ gauges that aim to offer a much more comfortable, playable set from string to string, all the way up and down the fretboard.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 16px;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHere’s what Stringjoy say about their Balanced Super Light Set;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e“So these might look like a typical set of 9s (or Super Lights, or Extra Lights - everyone seems to call ‘em something different... ), but trust us, they’re not.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 14px;\"\u003eThe standard for 9s is typically 9-11-16-24-32-42, and while the gauges on the bottom end are solid, the top is all kinds of messed up.
