Daddario EXL120-10P 5-stars Reviews

Classic and the best

I have been playing these strings for a long time and they never disappoint!

Very nice guitar strings

Sounds good and retains sound quality for long time period.

Best strings ever

Hands down the best strings I have ever put on my guitars. They remain crisp for the longest and provide a very balanced sound for pop, rock, blues and some metal.

My favourite strings

9-42 strings with Daddario's high quality and colour coded string ends. I find them easier to bend and play expressively than their 10-46 strings.

The best

Best strings for me, I've been using them for more than 5 years and they were better from all the other options I tried so far

If it works, don't fix it

I have used this brand (Daddario) as a professional guitar player for 45 years. They are consistent in terms of intonation, they stay in tune, and they last longer than other brands.

Great Strings Good Value

I use these on all my electric guitars, they do the job well and don't cost an arm and a leg. Well worth the money.

My favorite strings

Excelent sound. My favorite strings now. Highly recomend if you like sweet and soft sound.

My fav set of strings, like an old pair of slippers. I use these on my Jacksons, charvels, strats and teles. For Gibsons I use the 10s, but thats probably just me !

Nice!

Been using them for decades. You can't go wrong with these.

Bulk order

bought them with other stuff to make it worth while.

this is a small box considering it holds 10 sets fits nicely into gear bag.

I really love these strings personally and they seem to last longer than other brands I have used at around the same price point.

Reliable strings.

I've been playing D'Addario XL 9 - 42 all my life on a different guitars (Fender Stratocaster, Ibanez RG) and I've never had any issue. Versatile, reliable and good sound.

Good set of strings

Excellent value for money certainly when buying this 10 set pack.

Soft to the touch but sharp tone

I'm not going to talk much about the sound, a thousand reviews and countless listeners and professional musicians already know. I tried 11-49's at full tension for a while, they have a lot of nerve but they prove hard to bend. So now I'm only putting 10-46's and 9-42's on my axes.

I found an excellent Madison Strat clone with 22 frets and a very well contoured neck joint so it naturally begged for shred strings, and that means 9-42's. Their unplugged tone is exactly the same as heavier D'Addario strings except the biggers ones have a kinda boosted sound all over the spectrum.

I was afraid that would be heard drastically at the amp but no, they level out when amplified, maybe because the pickups need to be a little closer to the less massive strings. However the main reason for the 9-42's was comfort and I got plenty of it. They feel like hair, they bend super easily but not so much that you don't feel a tactile feedback, they do resist a little bit.

For some reason they detune more after bends than after trem motions but they don't detune more than heavier gauges. By the way, the 11-49's I still have will be mounted on a guitar that has an unusual strong resonance in the low end, I will tune it in D standard and enjoy the fat tone. Full tension with 11-49's was an experiment worth doing but the playability of thinner strings is hard to live without.

Comfort should be the same than 9-42's, I guess. I also bought a super affordable Stagg Strat clone with only 21 frets but the neck feels so fast to me, I'll be putting these 9-42's, too, it will be my other shred guitar, and it might prove faster because of the ergonomics.

To be sure to exploit that speed it'll be fitted with these soft 9-42's, the stock 9-42's don't sound great but they feel right so D'Addario tone has to complement that comfort.

Edit: when I switched from fat strings and soft rounded picks to thicker pointy picks and thinner strings the attack remained sharp.

Favorite strings

My favorite strings. Elixir last twice as long, but does not sound near as good.

"THE STRINGS" for electric guitar!

Very good strings for affordable price

Many guitar players recommend these strings and this is very convenient package provided with very affordable price. Be prepared that all 6 strings are in the same nylon pack, so a little more attention will be needed while setting the strings to the guitar.

Highly recommend.

Easy to play.

I find these strings are really easy to play and it has a good sound. It is my favorite.

These strings sound good

The tone is what it should be and it is easy to intonate the guitar with these strings, which is not always the case with some other brands. Good value for the money. These strings don't last much longer than strings of any other manufacturer though. I prefer these to any other strings at the moment anyway. I change strings often.
