Daddario EXL116

Fantastic sound and great ldurability

I have been using these strings for the past 12years in the same guitar (Fender Jazzmaster). I absolutely love how long the last, and they behave perfect in different tunnings. This guitar is usually tuned in Standard E but lately I have been exploring lower tunings and they are still perfect. Due the lenght of the Jazzmaster string, they make the playability perfect in E and they don't feel to hard. I really love the combo Jazzmaster and these D'addario 11-52.

Great tone and durability at a great price

I used to work at a rock club in Cincinnati, Ohio. Once, after a particularly long load out of Slayer and Static X, I noticed a box full of at least a hundred packs DR strings left sitting on the sidewalk. I took them home and played on them for probably years. After that I was hooked. But they were hard to find. When scarcity became a real problem on my tours in Europe, I asked my lead guitarist what he used, and he pointed to D’addario. I tried them out and was blown away by the clarity, tone, and, most important, durability of these strings! And now finally I had found a set that was easy to locate in any guitar shop in the world! They’ve been my go-to string ever since, and the price point can’t be beat!

Very usefull for lower tunings

I play in D-stanard and hate floppy strings. So these strings are perfect for playing metal in this tuning

Amazing strings

Well worth the price! After installing them in my Epi Emperor, the guitar started singing. Get them - you definitely won't regret that decision.

Consistent Standard for Decades

Been using D'addario strings since the 90s

Great strings for D standard

I have been using these for years. Great for fat beefy riffs. They last long.

Ok folks. I bought 2 set 11's from each brand (the other brand is ernie ball) cause I wanted to tune down 2 of my guitars to D standard for a project. As fate wanted it these 2 guitars were identical (same brand, same pickups) so I decided to install one of each brand for an A/B comparison. After necessary truss rod adjustments we are back in business.

Sound related there was no any audible difference between these 2 sets, the only actual difference is the long lasting tone (ernie ball) after 3 months of use and the fact that ernie ball's have a smoother feeling in hands.

Best strings in the market, they never break, are extremely elastic and fell just really good under the fingers.

great value

I have Used these strings for a long time, they sound good and are durable (never encountered a broken string ...)
