Best quality with even better price

For me there is no better strings...

For starters, they sound better to my ears than any others, and I've tried the more expensive brands.

They feel nice on my fingers and do not falter under abuse (tremolo, heavy bending, sweep picking, etc).

The only ones I would say are comparable to these strings are the Ernie Ball Slinky 10-46, but not only are they more expensive but you also cannot find them in packs of 3, 5, 10... which makes them always more expensive than D'Addario.

Great pack!

There's nothing to add really regarding the D'addario strings that most people won't know.

Their reliable I really like the tone and the feel. Most importantly this is a great deal. I don't wanna stock tons of strings at my house but I like having spares. Bought this and can't wait for the day I get to restring! And in case something goes wrong and a string breaks I always have a back-up.

I recommend this pack. It's great

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

Classics

At this prince range it's the only string I use.

Great sound, long lasting, not a bad thing to say about them.

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...

Excellent quality strings at a great price

D'Addario strings for electric guitar are a no-brainer for me. They consistently deliver good clean tone and have a high quality. I hardly ever have a string break, and the strings themselves feel good to play. I mostly buy the 10 gauge sets in the 3 packs (occasionally the 10 pack), and I use them on all of my guitars. I have used many other brand of string but after using these I am happy I found the brand for me mainly due to the high consistency between each set. You get what you expect every time with no faults or surprises.

D'Addario's are all I ever use!

Consistent tuning... bright sound... been using them for years on Strats, Les Pauls, Teles, ESPs, Jacksons! Highly recommended!

The brand of strings dont matter too much but you will know when you get a bad brand. These are great and they are my go to brand of string due to their reliability. They last a long time and are not likely to break even with heavy use. They sound great from the moment they are put on

tough strings

i use them on my electric guitar, at gigs, & practicing a lot.

since i tried these strings, i have decided to stick with them.

don't remember having one break yet, they have gone 'dead' & been replaced before breaking, & i play heavy music.

rugged strings, & good value in this 3-pack set

i would recommend these strings anytime

My favourite strings!

I've tried all of the major string brands and always keep coming back to these! They always seem to last longer and I've yet to have any breakages before deciding to replace them. Nice clear, present tone and more high end than any other strings I've tried!

Sometimes, change is good

A few weeks ago, I had a string break which hasn't happened in a while though I knew I was pounding my set of strings hard; day in, day out I have been practicing and playing with a few buddies though my set of Ernie Ball hybrids (orange pack) took the beating well.

After which, I decided to try another brand of string and since I was listening to Guthrie Govan a LOT, I thought it may be a good idea to try Rotosound strings. Headed over to my local guitar shop, all they had were Roto 11's. I was contemplating for a good 5 minutes on what to do because I had a horrible experience with a set of D'addario acoustic strings and didn't want that to happen again...but I decided to tempt faith. Bought a pack of EXL110s, went home, and cleaned and set up my guitar as I do with each string change.

Once I put on that new set though, my guitar was SET! They have a different feel to them compared to Ernie Ball strings though I actually found them incredibly easier to play. The strings actually felt like they were ready to play right out of the pack and hardly needed any sort of stretching. They are a tad bright though at the same time have a VERY balanced tone which I liked. With Ernie Ball sets, a difference in gauge can be a difference in tone though the reason for buying hybrid sets (9s on the top, 10s on the bottom) was to accomodate my lead playing with the rhythm. Though with these D'addario strings, I felt like I didn't even need any custom gauges or hybrid sets.

I can't deny that my guitar setup didn't help though considering I adjusted neck relief and action again which helped tremendously though the tone of these strings has been consistent for close to a month now and I've been playing EVERY day for at least 2 hours.

I'd say D'addario did a great job and I must say that Musicians Friend has a great deal on here! Next pay check, definitely getting myself a 3-pack.

wow!!

For the price you can't go wrong, they are definitely the best I have ever purchased. I used them for several months.

Just right!

Use these strings with my Ibanez SA160FM-TGB as a practice guitar and just to jam and couldn't be happier that's why I always buy three packet.

Good Quality and value for money over any others out there for the same costs.

Would recommend for intermediate use and practice playing but not to heavy.

D'addario never disappoints

Lovely sounding strings and I am yet to have a string break. They last and only after a few month do I feel the need to change them. I know its time to change when tuning the G string and it just doesn't really tune right. The G string also starts to sound like a tin thrown on the road :)

Im not a touring player only at home but I do play almost daily. I change them every approximately 4 month.

Best value for the money is to get these 3 packs or more.

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.

Daddario EXL110-3D's the industry standard

these are my strings of choice and the ones which I judge the quality of all others by...what more can I say.

works well on all scale lengths i.e. Gibson LP, PRS, and Fender.

great strings

I used to use various other brands and was put onto these by a guitar luthier and I will never change from these strings now. Always get a great tone & responsive feel from these. Pretty stable and settle in quickly, feel like finer guage strings, you get the benefit of heavier gauge without shredding your fingers.

For me the go to

They are what my guitar teacher used when i first started and after a few experiments they have been the go to for me over time. sound great and last long enough to be value for money
