Daddario EXL110-3D 4-stars Reviews
Good strings
They are great strings for the price but I switched to NYXL. They sound better to me.
vfm
The most "value for money" strings in my opinion.
Decent strings
Been using these for a while, and quite happy with them. If they break it's after a long time, and at the Floyd Rose bridge end - mind you that by that time (after several months) they are a little bit corroded already.
Have never compared strings, but sound is as it should be I guess?
Great bright strings!
These sound very clear, but for me they seem to oxidate faster than others, but this is maybe just me.
Longevity
Great sounding strings. The only problem I have with these strings would be with their longevity. I find I have to change strings every 2 weeks as my sweat tends to corrode them.
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!
I like this for rehearsing or noodling inbetween sessions
I wouldn't use them live in the studio as they do get dull real fast, but thats reflected in the price
Great afforbable strings.
Seem to last very long and feel rigid. Tends to have some oily product on them when new and leaves you with some friction. Great sound and good overall quality though...
Great brand, good sound
I've only used d'Addario strings on my acoustics before getting this lot for my Epiphone electric. The strings sound a little too bright for my taste. This may be because they're knew. I find it's not too hard to correct for this using amp knobs and an EQ plugin (if I'm recording).
I will definitely use these for a few weeks and see how they measure up to the Elixirs I was using before. If I'm unhappy, I'll just try another set (probably from d'Addario again, I just love their products) which should be a little warmer.
OK average quality
String choice is subjective, and there are plenty of fans of these strings. Personally I think they are OK, but not great. I feel that these strings lack a little presence, transparency, and longeivity. For me Ernie Ball equivalents are better.
Daddarion EXL110
Daddario are my strings of choice and these 10's are my default for anything other than Floyd equipped guitars, or specialist applications such as down tuning or slide guitar.
A really good shelf life, they don't get dull quickly like others. I actually like the coloured ball ends, it does stop you making stupid mistakes putting the wrong string on ( we've all done it, it's really annoying!).
The only problem I had with these was putting them on a Washburn X series guitar, they seemed really flappy and loose even though the guitar had a standard scale length and your bog standard tune-o-matic bridge. Odd, but I think it was the guitar's fault, not the strings.
Good value standard issue stings that are my first stop for most of my guitars.
steel 10/46 D'darrios
Good set of strings, smooth to the touch and bright sounding. Fortunately, the
sharpness of the sound mellows after a few days, leaving you with a balanced
and competent sound and feel.
Decent strings
Using these for the first time. The strings function as the should, have not encountered any problems. The quality seems good so far (I've had them for a couple of months).
Best sounding strings ( to my ear )
In my opinion, these strings sound the best. A very bright modern sound that responds well to dynamics. They don't last as long as some other brands but are reasonably priced.
Good allround guitar strings
I really like these strings. They last long and they have a good balanced sound. Not to bright but with great bite. Daddario have an even quality to all products in their range. I can recommend these strings.
good enough for their price !!!
nice and soft bendings
bright tone
nice price
First time using and quite impressed
Purchased these mainly on cost but got to say that I REALLY like the feel and balance of these strings and they sound good too.
I guess I'm a winner.
I have been using Ernie Ball for over 20 years and have never strayed but going to put the Ernie's back next time to see what the difference is but for the price, this is a super buy.
Don't like the packaging, like a lot of other people. You cant store your old strings separately in the old bags coz there ain't any. They come all in one plastic bag.
Daddario 10's
Triple pack of Dadarrio 10's - industry standard electric strings which I've used for 20+ years without complaint
Highly recommended
Quality chords
These chords never let me down. I used them on live gigs and are superb. Always carry an extra case with me!!!
Daddario EXL110-3D
Great string package. I am always using this set of string because of it's tone and quality of the sound. Also 0.10 it is perfect for my guitar, because it has a tremolo system. The tuning of the guitar stays perfect with this gauge of strings, but it depends how many springs has the guitar. Overall - great product. For guitarists those sets of strings is perfect to save money on the shipping.
