EXL148 : Great for Drop C

Most string sets aren't well balanced, this is known by a lot of people especially those of us who play in non standard and drop tunings.

However this pack is pretty much spot on for Drop C. Granted that it would likely appeal more to those who prefer quite a lot of tension in their strings, especially on the low C. It has a slight disadvantage of making bends on the higher register a bit tougher to pull off. For a Metal rhythm player like myself, this isn't an issue, and solos are definitely manageable.

If you like a lot of tension for tight, fast riffing, these will do you well. If you are a lead player spending most of your time on the higher end of things, you might want to consider mixing in some lighter top strings or get used to the tension, which isn't so bad as you're likely dropped at least a step down.

These even hold up well for drop B tuning. Great strings, usual D'Addario quality.
