EXL120-3D : Great strings

12 years ago

These are the standards i use on my Fender MIM Telecaster. The color coding on the strings make it easy to put them on, something i really like about D'addario's strings in general.

They need about an hour of play before they start start to be in tune.

After a few days, they settle and be remain consistently in tune for about 2 days straight....only having to re-tune max half a half step (except when moving the guitar around of course)

The tone of these is great, fairly clean and a good sustain. After a month or so of intensive play, they start to sound a little dull and need to be replaced.

I have fairly acidic sweat...and after a couple of weeks....their shine wears a little of and they are effected on places where they are touch the most.

Compared to the 0.46's, the playability of these is awesome. They are light are

bend easily, but, knock on wood, i have not had a EXL 120 string broken on me yet.
