Daddario EXL110 5-stars Reviews

хорошие струны

ordinary strings, quite sonorous and nice quality

Great sound and feel

Been using these strings, after trying different brands I always end up coming back to these.

Perfect strings

I am using this string type for over 20 yrs and would buy them even if they were twice the price. Best sounding strings for all my Fender electrics ever! Tried every different strings, but always came back to Dads. Last time it was Elixirs, which are much more expensive and can tear in two weeks as any other strings.

They are corroding rather fast, if your hands are like mine. Otherwise, nice bright sound, good tension and feel under fingers.

However, I would choose EB Regular Slinky over these every time.

Excellent!

These are the standard strings that other strings are compared to. They nicely intonate, they don't take too long to break in. They sound lively for two weeks easily and they don't seem to break at all. Besides that, they're cheap enough that they won't hurt your wallet. There's nothing to dislike about these. And although the company produces some string packs which are mediocre, these EXL110 are absolutely amazing. They are my favorite strings in any price range for standard tuning on both Fender scale instruments and my shorter scale Les Paul SGs and the bunch.

Industry standards

What can I say. These never disappoint. Very bright sound and last me about a month.

Totally worth it

Great strings that just sound good. Hard to find better strings for the same price. I put these on all my guitars.

Great strings.

Very good strings, perfect tuning stability, strings hold tune after long playing. Very nice feel.

Classic

Great strings, used these for years and years. Durable in both quality and sound when compared to the likes of Ernie Ball. Keep the new bright tone for a lot longer than other strings and don't suffer as much breakage. I've since moved on to 9s but I do keep 10s on some of my other guitars.

Benchmark strings

I've used these strings in every context... Great sound and affordable, too. I've used them so much that they have become the reference sound I compare new strings to.

Good string set

Good quality and good sound strings. My brand of strings for guitars.

Does what is says on the tin

These are great strings. They hold tune really well, have a nice feel and are easy to install.

They have a nice bright clear sound with plenty of low end punch. I use them on my Fender Jazz Base.

Standard Daddario performance

They are relatively bright and have a good expected lifetime. You just cant go wrong with Daddario. Same goes for the corresponding 7string pack.

Yes

It's exactly what you think it is and does exactly what you think it will do.

I'm never going back

I have tried all string brands out there, been a "slinky" user for 9 years, Elixir for 4 years, ghs, DR, rotosund etc. You name it, I've tried it.

There is no better strings to put on my guitar than D"Addario EXL110, period.

For what my needs are, these strings check every box. The beautiful sound, the right comfortable tension, the great durability. Everything that I would want from my guitar strings.

I strictly use them on shorter scales though (les paul), as on the longer scale guitars I use the same ones, but 9s. They still deliver great amount of output.

I absolutely love them, I can't recommend them enough.

Daddario rocks!

Since changing to Daddario I haven't looked back. These string feel really good and I love the sound, it's bright and a little bit mellow. The colour coding is super helpful as well.

D'Addario EXL 110 " That's all I need to say really "

I have used these D'Addario EXL110 strings for a good few years now and they are consistently great strings for the money. I love the feel and tone their Nickel Wound strings produce. I have regularly experimented with gauges but always seem to return to the 10/46's which seem to suit my playing on most of my guitars. I tend to use my fingers more than a pick so I like the low E string to have a full, bottom end, whilst the mids and top end still cut through with great clarity. Very reliable performers.

Time-tested good strings. I use them all the time and never let me down. Not expensive.

Good Strings

I've always been an Ernie Ball Slinky guy, but since these are the strings that come on most Harley Benton guitars by default, I figured I'd give them a shot, since they wouldn't change the neck tension on my HBs. They are packaged nicely (sealed), sound great, and seem to hold tuning better than the EBs, for me at least.

Some of the best guitar strings out there

To be perfectly honest, I haven't tried out every brand of guitar strings out there, and in my 11 years of playing, D'Addario EXLs have always been a mainstay for me, mainly because they are so cheap and readily available. Even when do I try out some other brand, at the end of the day I see myself coming back to D'Addario EXLs, because they just work. I've used the EXL110 set extensively on my old Dean Vendetta XMT, and I also use them on my newer Dean ML 79 F, mostly tuned at Standard C# plus 30 cents (yes, I'm weird like that), sometimes lower or higher.

I've seldom had issues with intonation from these strings. That's usually the fault of your guitar setup, specifically the position of the saddles, the string height and the neck's contour. Once the strings are stretched out, they keep their tuning fairly well - barring changes in temperature and humidity, of course. But I'd wager that, even if you forget to stretch your strings while restringing, they'd still be quite stable after a few bends here and there. Sometimes I don't even let them sit after restringing, and they're still good to go.

Now, I love the sound of fresh strings, and I tend to change strings once they start sounding somewhat dull. On the D'Addario EXLs, that's usually about a month, month and a half, but I've also gone with the same set for longer. In my experience, the wound strings can stay pretty fresh (or, as some like to say, keep their "zinginess") for approximately two, sometimes even three weeks of moderate playing, depending on the air humidity and how much I sweat.

I've found these strings to be quite durable. The only issues I've had thus far with string breakage are on the old Dean Vendetta, where the highest string would sometimes break at the tuning post after bending a bit too much (the age and quality of the guitar are to blame; I've since kept one or two more turns around that tuning post), and on my Dean ML 79 F where after three to five weeks, they have somewhat of a tendency to break at the saddles after ridiculous pull-ups with the Floyd Rose. But on a Floyd Rose equipped guitar, it's a good idea to keep more of the string around the tuning posts anyways, so that you can just feed the strings back into the saddle and retune without much hassle.

I've also tried the D'Addario EXL110BT in the past, which is the balanced tension version of the EXL110, but that would probably also call for a separate review. I will however mention that, at least on the Dean Vendetta, it has indeed given a much more balanced feel when doing bends with the plain strings; on the flipside, the wound strings do feel a tad slinkier.

Last but not least, the EXLs just feel right on my fingers. Coarse enough to get a good grip on, yet they still seem to allow the fingers to glide with ease.

I realize that string brand preference differs from person to person. But if you're looking for good round wounds, at least in my experience I can wholeheartedly recommend the EXL110s - or, for that matter, any of the D'Addario EXL sets, depending on your scale length, tuning or tension preferences.
