Smooth and brilliant strings

D'Addarios are my strings of choice for years! After testing different other brands and their regular sets, I always end up with D'Addario.

This set is perfect for guitars in standard tuning and offer clear and transparent sounds and very nice playability. Compared to the EXL110 set, this one is less fat sounding but bendings and leads are easier to play.

The quality is very good, I never had any issues with D'Addario strings!

I use this set on a 7-string guitar in combination with a NW064 single string. The guitar is tuned A# F A# D# G# C F. It's not a very common tuning and this set gives me the tension i need

I suggest this set especially to players, who wants to have a smoother feel and increased playability on their instrument!

Favorites

These are my favorite strings. I found them to withstand blues bending and corrosion much more than any other (uncoated) strings I've tried. They are a bit more tense than for example EB Slinkies, but still much less than some coated strings like Elixirs, making them great for bending and more aggressive way of playing, although if you are going to be particularly hard on them, it'd be better to go up to 10 gauge.

Duarble and great benders

I've been using this type of strings for more than 10 years now.

Never failed to deliver good sound and they can keep the quality sound after quite a lot of beating. I like them on my mahogany guitars with Floyd Rose.

Good Product

These D'addario strings are amazing. I have been using these for years, for all my guitars. I recommend this to everybody. The price is amazing and and not lose anything in comparison to other brands.

Guitar string brand that I'd recommend to everyone.

I've been using a wide range of strings, but these are definitely my favourite guitar strings. They're durable and feel nice against your fingers, and the sound is awesome. And even a set as light as this sounds good with both heavier and lighter types of music.

Bright and easy

I have been using Daddario strings for about 4 years and I have found that the EXL120 fits me best. I mainly play a BC Rich Mockingbird with Floyd Rose and the strings resonates perfectly with the solid ebony body. They are warm and bright and extremely easy to play. Perfect for metal stuff.

Extremely recommended!

The typical E standard strings

I used these strings on my Ibanez RG821, that is in E Standard tuning. Over the years I have used many brands but finally settled for D'addario, they have the best Price-Quality feature, last for a long time and have a great bright sound.

Since I don't like very high gauges, 09 to 42 is perfectly fine for me.

The bridge pickup I have for that guitar is a Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion, passive pickup, and even tough it is a distortion pickup I can get very beautiful sounds with the clean channel, all thanks to these D'addario EXL120 strings. These should be the standard for every guitar player out there.

Fine pack

This daddarion string pack sounds good. Don't know how long it will last. Trying to stretch it as much as possiible while playing. Holds up the tuning quite well. Should order some more this style.

Good for everything

These strings are really great for whatever the style of music you want to play with your guitar. All around great vibe and touch. They tend to get a little floppy when in lower tunings like drop C or below but I personally love these strings whenever i have to play jazz or funk or that kind of stuff.

Great benders

These are the strings you want if you play fast lead guitar with a lot of bending.

My favourite electric string

I have used these for years. Though I tried a few different brands over the last few years and just come back to these. I tried elixir, ernie ball, dean markley and a few others, these just seem to fit me.

14 years on, still using these strings

I've tried all kinds of self preserving strings with coatings, I won't label manufacturers but if you believe coated strings are the way forward you are sorely mistaken! If you take care of your strings after every gig and clean them properly you should not need to change them every 5 minutes, I like the way these strings still have their brightness after more than 4 months of gigs.

Good strings

Like most guitar strings they sound, I suppose, is key. These sound and feel great and I always use this gauge. They come in a special corrosion prevention bag so they get to you in perfect condition.
