EXL148 : thick strings for thick sound!

11 years ago

Since I tuned one of my guitars to dropped B I was in need of a set of string which fit this tuning. D'Addario recommend this set for dropped C tuning, but i found them too thick for this. But this is personal taste.

Brutal riffing is a pleasure and the sound is super fat while still being comfortable.

The durability is okay. If you clean them after playing, they last longer. Intonation was no problem and my vibrato never goes out of tune, since i use the strings. Even crazy divebombaction is no problem. Pretty cool! Until now, I don't have the problem with breaking strings! Another guitarist from my are is lamenting about this set and the strings breaking all the time, but MAYBE it comes from playing an old Ibanez GIO guitar without proper setup made.

So finally, if you need thick strings for lower tunings, give these a try! You won't regret it!
