Daddario EXL140-3D Reviews

Go to strings for the last 10 years

Ive used these strings since I started playing guitar again 11-12 years ago. In that time I've tried numerous other brands but always come back to these.

I find these strings are easy to break and once they have broken in they retain their desired tuning well. They last fairly well and remain bright for me for 3-4 weeks, which is about 1 hours play time a day.

I use this gauge of string for D standard on 25.5 inch necks and E standard on 24.75. They have a nice even tension across the fretboard.

I also use this gauge on a 27 Inch baritone in A, with a 60 on the low A.

Overall this pack represents great value for money as they last me a good while and I haven't broken a string in while, admittedly I tend not to play to many solos so can;t give an honest review if you send your time on the higher strings.

Tried and tested...

...I've been using Daddario strings for years and they do the job, pure and simple. I particularly like the hybrid sets with heavy bottoms - these EXL140s work great on my 24 & 3/4 scale fixed bridge guitars, and my drop tuned guitars with floating trems.

The best strings I've used after 20 years and many strings

I've had D'Addarios on my guitars for the past 10 years, and will never look back. They last for ages (months really for bedroom use) without significant change in tone, longer than any coated strings I've used.

I prefer a 10 gauge set, and have recently changed to a 10-52 light top heavy bottom set which makes chuggy riffing a lot more enjoyable. I had to file my nut and adjust my truss rod after installing them, althought the tension change isn't much over a standard 10-46 set.

The sound from these strings has plenty of bite, clarity and power for the mostly metal, punk and hard rock music I play. I've NEVER had one of these break either, and as I've said before I have had them on a guitar for some months of regular, hard use.

The 3D packs are especially awesome value.

Great strings

I have been using D'Addarios 10s on all of my guitars for a few years now. The tonal quality is great I think. If I were to make one suggestion, it would be that the company could work on lengthening the durability of the product. As someone who plays for 3/4 hours each day, I have to change strings once every 10 days - 2 weeks. It would be great if the company could increase the duration of string usage. Having said this however, they are fantastic strings.

D'Addario EXL 140

Have been playing for lore than twenty years and for me these are the best strings around. I've tried every major company and a few smaller companies with good reputations but always find myself coming back to these.

I really like the packaging and love the coloured ball ends which make it so much easier to make quick string changes without worrying it's the wrong size! For me, these stay in tune and hold their tone the longest for anything that isn't a coated string. They also feel good, some companies can have dead, dirty strings out of the packet but these always seem fresh and don't have any tarnishing.

Every so often I do try other brands again but these will always be by main strings.

Best strings out there!

Daddario talk for themselves. Best sounding strings out there. I am using them for 10 years now. Really like these 3 in 1 packages, they are cheaper. More money and more strings for me :D :)
