EXL157 : Great value strings for low tunings

5 years ago

As an owner of 2 baritone guitars I have used these strings for low tunings and I can say that given the price which is a little lower than the Ernie Ball Slinky Baritone, when compared they feel more premium.

The sound is a little less warm but the tonality is more defined.

All in all they are great strings but the problem that I encountered is that the thicker string of the set is a .065 gauge in comparison with the Ernie Ball Baritone strings which offer a .072 gauge that worked better for tunings below A as I achieved better tension and stability.

In conclusion they do the job really well as long as you don't get too low.
