Simply the best (c)

I've tried many other brands of electric guitar strings, but these are by far the best. IMHO, of course. It is on a very rare occasion that a string breaks. Also, I like Daddarios because to me they seem to be the brightest of all, at least when new. The system of coloured string ends is also a nice feature that I use each time. Some people may disagree, but I think it is relatively easy to otherwise confuse 1st and 2nd strings and 4th and 5th. All in all, these are the strings of my "default" choice unless I need something specific like bass strings for my short-scale Mustang for which case I would rather prefer "native" Fender strings. This particular size is best for the Gibson-scale axes, while Fender-scale ones are better off strung with the 9s.

As a final remark, I prefer to buy these strings in economy packs (3 or 10).

Perfect 10's!

I have used D'Addario EXL110's exclusively on my Les Paul for the last 10 years, so ordering the 10 pack was a natural choice. The quality of the strings and packaging are exactly as I have come to expect from these strings. Plus, the 10 pack came with a free Planet Waves string lube applicator, which was a nice surprise!

Great strings

I've used Daddario strings for years and really like the sound and the fact I rarely, if ever break one. The new packaging, ten packs in a little box small enough to fit in a guitar case, is great.

Great sound, great value

Unless a customer specifically asks for another string, I always fit D'Addario XL to the electric guitars I set up.

I know that they are going to intonate properly, sound great and keep on sounding great for a long time.

Value!

I used to use another well known brand of strings but choosing to use these strings was one of my best decisions as a guitar player! They sound great and stay sounding great for a long time! My setup is sounding better than ever with these strings! I currently have switched to the 10-52 set simply for the thicker low string as my current band play in drop C#. The only issue I have ever had is one I have with all strings that whatever is in my sweat tends to cause the strings quite dirty but that is not fault of Daddario, just something about me. Highly rate these strings and would recommend them to anyone looking for good quality strings!

Good price for 10 pack

I really like the Daddario XL 10's, and at this price they are excellent value. Same price as 5 packs in my local guitar shop so it makes sense to buy in bulk from here.

An inexpensive way of buying the best strings

I've gigged and recorded with D'Addarios for at least 10 years - and each time I try something else, I'm reminded why I buy these.

Consistent, toneful and wear resistant - they are the best!

And buying them in 10s is so much better value!!

Great strings

I like these strings I have used them for many years. I use them on my strat, Les Paul's and Ibanez. (works fine with Floyd Rose bridge type bridge I just cut the ball end off)

I find they last longer then other brands that I have used. They don't seem to break as easy compared to others. The multi coloured ball ends look cool on some guitars if you can see them. Also makes it easier to spot which string it is. For instance straight away you know it's a g string as it has a green ball end.

They come in a sealed package that is handy. Might be cool if each string was separately wrapped. To keep them fresh if you only need to use one string. However I usually replace the whole set at once anyway so not a big problem. I would recommend these and I will definitely keep using them myself.

Excellent sound, great playability

My favorite strings, easy to play, great sound, good deal in a 10-pack. Used mostly with a locking tremolo, so staying in tune is not a problem, but I occasionally used them on a Gibson Les Paul with good results. Recommended.

Daddario EXL110-10P

Great tune for great guitars. Daddario has made great strings in the past, and they continue their tradition with these babys.

I'm using them on my Fender Standard Telecaster MN. The tone is bright and warm. The bending possibilities are also pretty neat. Great strings for playing some indie, country, pop-rock tunes, wich makes them a great choice if you want to play music thats popular today.

If I would compare them to simmilar Dunlops, I would say that these fit better for clean or lightly overdrived tones. Not so "rock-ish", but don't be fooled. Flip the switch on your amp into overdrive, and they will deliver.

Bought a 10-piece package wich came with a Plante Waves capo, so the price was really a bargain.

Long lasting friend

I've been using the D'addario strings all the years I've been playing. They have been beaten and caressed, and they have survived it nicely. The sound may not be the best of all, but on the other hand, it is good enough for me. And no one has complained about them even when bigger names have been playing my guitars.

The quality and the pricepoint have been the main reason for my long lasting friendship with these strings, as for a student these have been often at the cheaper end of options. And as strigs tend to be a more "buy by the lot" investment for me, I've seen these as a good standard to work with.

String stash!

If you know what you like- and have the cash at hand- it makes every bit of sense to buy your consumables in bulk. This is a great deal.

My new favorite string

I was using slinkys before, I used to break a string a gig. Now I have to remind myself to change strings, just as a precaution. But they never break and are long lasting tonally, lovely and bright, great sounding, and can really take the strain when you dig in hard.

Grab a bargain..

Good strings.

Unsurprisingly these are popular for a reason. They're good strings.

It's hard to know exactly what to say about strings. For years I had been a long time Ernie Ball Regular Slinky user. Like many people I was probably, at least in part, influenced by the long list of famous names listed on the packaging of the Ernie Balls. No matter what specific kind of guitar music you are into, within that list of names has to be at least one of your guitar heroes, probably more.

For me it was (amongst others), Slash. And if Slash was using Ernie Ball strings, I was gonna use Ernie Ball strings too.

So for years I was probably quite reluctant to even try another brand of strings. Although eventually (and I can't remember how or why exactly) I decided to try some D'Addario strings and I was completely sold on how much brighter (but not too bright) and more articulate they were.

A true sign that you have found something new that works for you, is that if when you try to go back to 'the old ways', whatever that may be, (in this case Ernie Ball strings), it's just not the same anymore.

I mean, I hate to have to put a product down, but compared to D'Addario strings, it's like the Ernie Balls come out of the packet like they've already been used for a week and they're pretty much 'dead'.

Sorry Ernie Ball. Sorry Slash. :)

These are a few of my Favourite strings

I have used D'Addario strings since almost I started playing guitar. I have tried others like Erie Ball, Roto Sound, Fender and others but these ones just have a tome that suits my style of play both on electric and acoustic

Well worth the money and hard to beat on tone too - and thats the important factor

Exactly what you would expect from D'addario

Been using these for years, can't recommend these enough, I have tried other sets all the big brands of the string world but always return to these, the multi packs as well are great being considerably cheaper than buying individual sets here in the UK.

EXL110

Distinctive bright tone and reduced fret wear, with excellent intonation and a "fret-friendly" nickel round wound feel make them my steady choice.

D'Addario EXL110 strings offer bright, pleasant attack, especially when I play hard rock and r'n'r music.

Great quality, long life strings that don't eat your frets and are very economical

These are my favourite strings -having tried many brands over the years. They are bright (but not overly) and last a long while before sounding dull. Being nickel-plated means they don't eat up your frets: being very slightly softer than stainless steel. In packs of 10 they are also very convenient for people with many guitars or who like/have to change their strings very regularly.
