Daddario EXL140-8 5-stars Reviews
Great strings
Great set for going a bit lower in tune than usual
Daddario standard
Nothing to add. This is as good as any Daddario strings
Great strings
These do exactly what they should. Don't let yourself be fooled into buying anything but a fresh new set of strings all around for an 8 string; no, you don't want to use a thin bass string for the low F sharp, and no it's not worth replacing just the top 7 in the hopes the low F sharp will sound the same anyway. Good strings, nice and bright, decent life and a new string application takes a lot of muddiness out of your low strings. Invest in these regularly for live performances.
D'Addario EXL140-8
I bought these when I purchased my new 8 string, Ibanez S8QM as I wanted to try something heavier to the 9-65 set which came with the guitar. The D'Addario string set came covered in a plastic wallet inside a cardboard box. For anyone who hasn't used D'Addario strings before, each string comes with a different coloured ball end, which are indicated on the plastic wallet, making re-stringing a breeze and add some colour to the bridge of the guitar. The strings are very bright sounding and remain feeling fresh for a long time, which for me was roughly a month of daily practise and playing sessions, which is something I had never been able to achieve with other string brands. I would definitely recommend this set for any 8 string guitar user.
Usual Quality
As always with Dadarrio, these strings provide a clear tone, good durability and stay tuned for extended periods, not too heavy on that low string either.
