EXL110 : Great performance for the price!

Everyone knows these strings. Their affordable, reliable and perform greatly for a long time.

Obviously, there are better strings in the market, whatever the parameter and even Daddario makes strings that are more perfected in every way. But if you dont know where to start, this are the standard strings of choice.

You broke a string? Get some Daddario EXL110

Bought a guitar and strings sound dull? Buy a new pack of Daddarios EXL110

Bought a new guitar and the strings play and feel great? They're much likely Daddarios EXL110

It's that simple, they're the standard.

But every rose has its thorn, and with this pack of strings the finish is the flaw.

I'm not talking about the packaging, nor the way they're made. It's just that they break in if you put them in a stressfull environment. (Like all of us, i think) So they tend to "finish" early. If they're well treated, they'll last decades.

You see, the G string is always breaking because it stands in the middle of the neck, right next to the truss rod, where the guitar feels more pressure (per inch).

But now you ask "The D string is also in the middle, why doesnt it break as well?"

Well, the D string is wounded, thereby reinforcing its resistance to break.

These strings are not well suited for other-than-standard tunings. Drop D is fine and all, but Drop Cs or a "capo" kind of tuning will leave the strings in a not so desirable environment. Other than that they feel great, the sound coming out is great as well and they're dirt cheap.
