Daddario EXL117

Great strings

What more can be said about these strings.

They are the usual top quality one can expect from a manufacturer such as D'addario.

They handle drop C tuning on my guitars perfectly. 10/10

Drop C

Probably everyone's D'addario go to for drop C or D standard. Versatile string that holds up pretty well. Been usin' em for years and they've never let me down so far.

Best sound

I use those strings on my Ibanez RGA321 and it's in drop C most of the time so those strings are perfect for 25.5 scale in this tunning. Also are ok in drop B but I prefer them in drop C because of the tension. Sound is better then some like Elixir or Dunlop ect. I has more brightness and I like it.

Great for drop C

Tried loads of sets for drop C, since I tried this I stopped searching. Great tension and balance, corrodes relatively fast (although I got sweaty hands and I play a lot) but affordably so it's OK.

Preferred set for drop C

Good tension, good sound, inexpensive. What's not to like? Don't see the use of paying 10-15€ for other strings that "last longer, sound crispier and make unicorns appear" (or some other marketing bs)...

Great for people who likes thicker strings

I have been using these string for E std, half step down, D std and Drop C for a while.

I like thicker strings with lots of tension, so I've moved over to EXL148's to Drop C and D std.

But these bad boys have more than enough tension in in them to not be floppy all the way down to Drop B.

Like i said, i just prefer heavy gauge strings.

They last a good amount of time with Fast Fret, though they last without as well.

I know some people hate Fast Fret with a passion.

Pro's:

- D'Addario quality and dependability

- Lasts a decent amount of time

- Great sound for a great price

Con's:

- None I can think off.

Perfect for everything

Good and high-quality strings. I liked it - I recommend it. There are no disadvantages. Fast delivery to Russia

i use these for drop b tuning

work great, usual daddario quality and sound clarity, cant be beatenfor the price.

Daddario are always the best

There was a time when I was trying different string manufacturing. I've tried 5-6 different companies. Once found Daddadrio it is just a matter of size to choose further. Never had any problems with Daddario. Their strings are nice on feel, bend and sound.

Took this size to try a new C drop tunning with an additional 0.59 for the 6th tring to have tight response when shreding. So far so good. Just need to raise a bit the action since the 6th string is often hitting the frets and those buzzzzz.

Too expensive

They rust very quickly; they're not bad strings, but they're not worth the heavy price. Next time I will get Elixer.
