EXL150H : Unique sounding, great strings

11 years ago

I bought these strings to add a different texture to recording. I use them on an Ibanez FR (you want to use a fixed bridge guitar with strange gauges!), and they provide a wonderfully lush, haunting sound. Doubled with a regularly tuned guitar, they sound like a 12-string, but better because no 2 performances are exactly the same, and the minute timing differences make the guitar sound come alive.

Not a string set for playing lead on (the weird octave leap would take too much getting used to) and I'd probably not use them live, but for recording a guitar strung up with these is a great addition. Of course they're D'Addario, so they're consistent and long-lasting.
