XL Chromes are a flat wound electric guitar string, which provide a mellower tone than round wound strings. Chromes’ stainless steel flattened ribbon wrap wire is precisely polished for unparalleled smoothness and the warmest tone you’ll find from an electric string. Like all D’Addario electric guitar strings, XL Chromes are made with our proprietary Hex-Core, ensuring perfect intonation, consistent feel, and reliable durability. | Chromes sets have a code on the recyclable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. D’Addario electric guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. |
