D’Addario EPN21 Jazz Electric Guitar Strings Light – .012-.051

XL Pure Nickel is a specially crafted vintage electric string set that pays homage to the iconic sound of the 1950s. During that era, pure nickel was the dominant alloy utilized in electric guitar strings.

These strings are expertly engineered with a high carbon steel core and pure nickel wrap wire, bringing back the lush and crisp tones that characterized early blues, rock & roll, and country music. With a 12-51 Jazz Light configuration, this set offers a touch more tension compared to Medium gauge Pure Nickel strings, resulting in a slightly more resonant and robust tone.

Drawing inspiration from the ’50s, XL Pure Nickel is a distinctive electric string set that captures the essence of that iconic era. Back then, pure nickel was the primary alloy of choice for electric guitar strings, and these strings pay tribute to that tradition.

Meticulously crafted using a high carbon steel core and pure nickel wrap wire, these strings artfully revive the rich, clean tones that defined early blues, rock & roll, and country music. The 12-51 Jazz Light set adds a hint of extra tension, setting it apart from the Medium gauge Pure Nickel strings and delivering a fuller and more vibrant tone.
