FEATURES


Wound for Warmth


D'Addario XL Chromes are the industry standard in flatwound guitar strings. They deliver a round, full low end, making them ideal for jazz players of all types. Wound with flattened stainless steel ribbon wire, XL Chromes are then polished to unparalleled smoothness.


Flattened for a Fuller Sound
