Daddario EXL110-3D Reviews

My standard

So I've been using the Daddarios for a few years now and there isn't much, that I would complain about.

Before swithching to Daddarios I've been using Ernie Balls that were pretty good as well; I also tried other brands that were however not matching both physical or tonal qualities of these two brands (especially the expensive and underwhelming Gibsons).

To compare Ernie Ball and Daddario, they are very simmilar, but different in an inexplicable way. The Daddarios are a tiny bit treblier and in my opinion better suited for humbucker equipped guitars. All that I can say for sure is that they sound and feel better on my guitar. On a strat or a tele, I can imagine the Ernies to have an upper hand (maybe).

The main reason why switched to Daddario was actually not the tone, but It happened to me a few times, that the Ernies were slightly corroded straight out of the box. This never happened to me with the Daddarios, although they have the "ecological" but apparently functional packaging.

To comment on the durability, they last about as long as any other non-coated strings, no miracles or surprises here.

However, the ultimate difference between the two brands is this very package of three stringsets, which makes them cheaper than most of the other strings while retaining all of their qualities. It is simply the best price to performance stringset, that I found.

Great Sounding Strings.

These came 3 working days after ordering and I have used this make on and off for Years. I use them on several Guitars and they sound great and last a long time. pros, great sounding and long lasting strings at a low price. cons, none.

Never disappoints

Daddario Nickel Wound strings are known for their long life, which is really good for people who don?t change the strings regularly.

Pros,

Long lasting with excellent intonation, Budget friendly (specially the 3 set offer)

Cons,

It?s not suitable to be installed just before a gig; the strings need some hours to settle.

To sum it up, the strings can always deliver a distinctive bright tone and excellent intonation no matter how old they are. Plus, the 3 string set option is very budget friendly

My favorite electric string set! Decent priced.

Great Strings

These are my Go-To guitar Strings -- Love them! Consistant High Quality and great sound and feel too!

The best strings ever used

These are the best strings I ever used. Been using them for years now. I had changed to other brands but always returned back to d'addario. Their tone is bright and clear and slide very well on a non locking nut with a tremolo bridge, keeping in tune.

Super versatile strings

I have been using this string for very long time, I particularly found them very appropriate for any music style, I am more jazz blues type. The tension is perfect i use it in a 25 '' 1/2 scale and it is great!

Hits the performance/price spot.

I've used various strings from various brands, from cheaper Harley Bentons strings, Fenders, Ernie ball, and even NYXL sets, these are (and other gauge XL sets) are the one I kept getting back to.

Pros:

Long lasting

Great out of the box feel

Allrounder tone (not as mid-focused as NYXL)

Great price for the performance.

Cons:

So far (2 years of using these XL series) none

Good value

Just changed to Daddario from another well known brand and I'm very glad I did. Not too bright and they last noticeably longer.

Long lasting, but not groundbreaking

I've switched for years between using these and Ernie Ball's Heavy Bottom Slinky Top, which are the same gauge. I've found that the D'addario strings snap less easily, particularly the high strings, and seem to be more resilient to energetic playing. I don't play very fast metal or lead lines often, so they don't come under a lot of stress, but I've found that they seem to hold tune a bit better than the Ernie Ball strings on the same guitar in the same room. They seem to settle in to their tuning from being strung up quite quickly, and their 'slickness' stays for a fairly long time, although they do get buildup and rust at roughly the same rate as other standard string brands (without moving up to coated strings). I have found a few times that the tie at the ball end of the string can come undone and break at that end with very heavy playing, particularly on my jaguar and jazzmaster where they may come into slight contact with the tremolo plate screws by vibration, but it has not happened that often and so I have persevered with them for now.

These strings stay quite bright sounding even when they are getting old and need replacing, but can sound a bit harsh to begin with, which I don't find with Ernie Ball strings. Overall though, I find the D'addario present better value.

Good Strings

Exactly what you expect from a set of strings.

Perfect for Gretsch Streamliner

I am using these strings with a Gretsch streamliner with a bigsby tremolo. I have used a lot of string sets from other companies but I have stuck with these. They are good with tuning(I am playing with alternative tuning and they never detune) even with the bigsby tremolo after the first week the are steady on the tone. The pack of 3 is in good price, and if you are not changing string too frequently the pack may last for 9 months.

Best String Set

Very Good Strings... the good quality makes them last. very strong!

great strings

I am very happy with these strings, not the first time that i buy them. Cannot tell any negative points, they are lasting for a really long time, Daddario is a top notch brand anyways, always quality products! never had a broken string, however, I play heavy metal. I can definately recommend to anybody who is looking for a nice set of strings. Price/value ratio topper!

Great middle of the road strings

Been using Daddario for a good while now, and from My experience their strings consistently meet my expectations whenever I'm in need of a change (which with these, is not very often). Sound nice and bright, last for weeks, sometimes even months of playing if you wipe down your strings regularly. As someone who likes a wee chug now and again, I've been able to tune down as far as drop C, with hardly any buzz or adjustment to my action.

Recommended!

Bang for my buck

Always reliable, best strings imo. Will buy again and again

Good strings

Good feel and sound.

Best strings

I use d'addario for almost 10 years now and never been dissapointed.I use .10's and .9's in my guitars.

The strings are well made,nice feel,not a really light feel,but i like them in my american stratocaster.They last long enough for nickel wound strings.I have to say that i have tried Ernie Ball,GHS,Elixir,Dunlop and i like the D'addario better.

Well made and well priced,an excellent choice!

my favourite strings

Thanks to d'addario I still love to come back to my brand of strings since I was a teenager. Great strings, lovely bright and decent sound. Long lasting. Highly recommended. I tried 9-42 but 10-46 is my choice and suits me perfect.

Perfect quality, cheap and reliable

Personally I'm using these strings at least last two years for almost all of my electric guitars. It's bright, reliable and durable - for this pricing category it's a best choice. 3-pack is cheap.

Pros: good packing, great sound, durable.

Cons: none.

Good choice.
