Daddario EXL120-3D Reviews

Such a great little multipack

These strings are great quality and sound excellent and I have found them to be very long lasting so handy to be able to buy them in a multipack such a time and money saver but not losing out on The quality so a win win would 100% recomend to any guitarist

Amazing

unreal bright tone i used ernie ball 10s for ages as they were the only kind of string i could buy back home great oul yokes they were i swear but i got a three back of these bad boys my tone was instantly better i had no string breakages after 3 months, i got a girlfriend , re occuring gigs , and people liked the way i played now it wasnt down to practise it was down to these awesome strings, plus it made playingfast stuff easier, could also pin point the harmonics way clearer

Consistent

Used these strings for 20 odd years now. Compared to other brands I have used these are much more reliable and consistent, qualities that are undeniably important when it comes to selecting your brand of string I'm sure! Tone wise they are perfect, not too bright yet very balanced, again I think this comes down to consistency. I have never broke a daddario string, I tend to change sets twice a month, I have broken strings from other major brands. I don't tend to sweat much so I cannot comment on how resistant they are to corrosion but really you should be changing your strings more often if you perspire a lot so it's a moot point.

Daddarion EXL120-3D

I've been using Daddario strings for quite a while now. I find that they tend to have a longer shelf life than some other popular brands and they are at a good price point.

I found with Ernie Ball strings for instance, that when you first put them on they sound really great with a nice spanky tone. However I do feel that they dull down rather quickly. In comparison I find that although the Daddario's aren't so spectacular when first put on, they don't dull so much over time. If you change strings a lot and like that 'new string' sound, then get Ernie Ball's. But I find Daddario's a better value long trem option.

I use 9's for my two Floyd rose equipped Charvel guitars and they do a good job in that environment.

The only problem I have had was a ball end snapping off a top E string while I was stringing up. I guess you're going to get a dodgy one once in a while though.

Unless someone can convince me otherwise, I'm sticking to Daddario EXL's!

Great strings

I've used D;Addario since 1992 and they are still my favourite now. The triple packs are great value for money, and the consistency of D'Addario strings and longevity is un-paralleled.

Amazing strings

Hands down my favorite strings. These strings came with my first guitar, tried several brands since then but so far no other brand/type of strings are close to replacing these as my personal best. Excellent sound and amazing durability. I never had one break on me, even in cases where the strings had rusted. This set of 3 is a great value.

nice for solo

if you are doing solo this one is ok. I dont know maybe just me? or it depends how big is your finger is. i have strat, jaguar and les paul. all using this king of string. nice price for 3 sets of strings.

good strings

Daddario is one of the most used brand for guitar strings.

I use the nice 009 set for my Stratocaster which has ceramics and a low output.

Even sounds, fast playing, tone is good for Nile Rodgers funk and rock.

Even old strings sound better as the ultra cheap budget strings. Really!

Strange enough they are too dull on my telecaster, so that kept its Fender strings...

Good to buy 3 sets, it's a bit cheaper, and you always have to change strings when the shops are closed...

Tip:

Sometimes, when the thick wound strings(EAD) are gone after a sweaty performance, i keep the unwound strings on the guitar. So i have a spare E-B-G set in case a string breaks.

Great strings

These are the standards i use on my Fender MIM Telecaster. The color coding on the strings make it easy to put them on, something i really like about D'addario's strings in general.

They need about an hour of play before they start start to be in tune.

After a few days, they settle and be remain consistently in tune for about 2 days straight....only having to re-tune max half a half step (except when moving the guitar around of course)

The tone of these is great, fairly clean and a good sustain. After a month or so of intensive play, they start to sound a little dull and need to be replaced.

I have fairly acidic sweat...and after a couple of weeks....their shine wears a little of and they are effected on places where they are touch the most.

Compared to the 0.46's, the playability of these is awesome. They are light are

bend easily, but, knock on wood, i have not had a EXL 120 string broken on me yet.

Super long living Strings

These Strings are very long living and get the best out of my PRS guitars. They are bright with a very good and modern bass response. The perfect match for a versatile guitar.

Why pay more?

D'Addario are consistently good strings. I see these as my default strings - nothing out of the ordinary, just a really good clear 'standard' electric guitar sound. Used on my Squier CVC Telecaster.

Daddario strings

Daddario strings have been my string of choice for many years. They never break, they stay bright for a long time and they sound great. This 3 pack is brilliant value too.

Daddario EXL120-3D

Been using these for 18 years, that says it all really! The hold their tone and when the brightness does go they still do not become dead in tone or become brittle from sweat or grease from ones fingers. They have a continued warmth for a long time. I personally play a lot and for extended periods, so they really are reliable.
