Daddario EXL110-3D Reviews
The standard
I'm a big fan of Daddario - the strings don't rust or break as soon as Ernie Balls or others and sound very even and with the right amount of brilliance. As they are relatively cheap, I tend to change them on my main guitar every four to six weeks depending on how many times I played it. This way I have a quite fresh sound all the time (it's better in an interval of four weeks compared to six - the brilliance does wear off).
Some could describe the strings as boring - to me they're the standard meaning universality in terms of sounds and overall reliability. Nothing fancy, just solidly working strings.
My favourite strings
You can't go wrong with Daddario xl's. I've never received a bad set, they sound great and last long enough for my needs. 10's feel great on a Les Paul/Gibson scale length, I like them on my strat too.
My go-to pack of strings
I've been using these strings for years now and I doubt I'll be switching anytime soon. The sound clarity in D'addario strings just isn't present with other brands I've tried on my guitars.
Still the best!
I have been playing the electric guitar for over ten years now, and these have been the strings I started on. While I have changed every other piece of equipment at least a dozen times, I have always come back to the Daddario XLs. There may be other strings that sound better at first, but then deteriorate more quickly. Or last longer with a slightly better overall sound, but cost three times as much (which makes a huge difference if you own more than a couple of guitars). Whenever I felt like experimenting, I have always come back to these. Best bang for the buck by far!
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.
Great universal strings
These are my standard go-to strings as they possess the perfect balance: Not too expensive yet very nice quality. I've never experienced any problems with these strings. They are easy to play and last quite a while, though you should change them often.
Especially in a studio setup where you have to change strings regularly I always have some of these ready for the artists cause they often come with dead strings and fresh strings do make a difference.
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.
Daddario EXL110-3D
I love these, after years of playing nothing but Ernie Ball Super Slinkys and not really thinking about strings I bought a Fender AVRI '52 telecaster, the seller had strung it with the Daddario EXL110-3D and raved about the strings.
I wasn't really paying attention to the strings but when I got it home and played it fir a while I realised it was a totally new playing experience, I haven't looked back.
They feel great, don't require as much cleaning and when they do they clean really easily and last much longer than my old Ernie Balls.
They stay also stretch in very easily, really just restring and tune and then a quick stretch on each string and they are good to go, rock solid tuning with them.
They are twice the price of my old strings but then they are twice the strings, totally worth it in my opinion.
My favourite Strings
These are my favorite strings that i use on most on my guitars. They seem to last longer than most other string brands for me and i love them bright tone they give. The price here for a pack of 3 is amazing. Each pack of strings is in its own individual packet inside the box.
Long lasting strings
We have been friends for many years Daddario Strings and I. They last well, are always consistent and feel good with excellent tone. If ever I change gauge of strings, or try another brand I save the Daddarios as spares because it would be a waste to throw them out unless totally played out.
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.

Good quality strings
Good quality strings for electric guitar. Good lifespan and quality in general, nice tone with my telecaster and the gauge is very suitable for any standard scale fender guitar. 3 pack is handy to have too!
Bright & Brilliant Strings
As a 25 year veteran guitarist I've played almost every brand Electric Guitar Strings out there. I have in the past few years become a dedicated fan of D'addario Nickel-Plated Strings. Only recently moving to playing heavier genres of music I was compelled to switch gauges from 09s to 10s to have a little more girth under my fingers. The same brightness and brilliant presence that the XL offer was still there. Playing a heavier gauge worried me that the extra stress and tension may give way to string breakage, but so far so good. The 3 pack is good value and an essential backup in case of emergency.
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.
Very Happy
D'addario strings are simply great, i use them on all my guitars in a variety of guages and never had any problems. The sound and feel great, reviving any old guitar. Do yourself a favour and get some!
Great strings at a great price
I have been using Daddario XL strings for about 5 years now. I'm no string expert by any means, but I know what I like, and I like these strings.
Daddarios are color coded, so they are easy to change. They are pretty durable and don't snap easily. Stings sound great and feel good on the fingers. And let's not forget that these strings cost less than most other strings.
I have nothing bad to say about Daddarios.
You really can't go wrong with Daddario strings. Bright sound but not too bright. The most important thing for me is that these strings are quite long lasting. I am a bit lazy and don't change my strings so often so that is important. Good value in a set of 3.
No 1
I use these on Les Pauls, SGs, 335s, Telecasters, etc. 10s work well for me on guitars with a fixed bridge (I prefer 11s for vibratos). D'Addario strings stay bright for a long time and are very break-resistant. Rich, clear tone with even intonation all over the fingerboard. Try them!
