Daddario EXL150 5-stars Reviews
Steely and Slick
A great set of Strings. The balance of tones between the high octave and lower one is great and the feel is good enough that you can spend hours playing.
Excelent sound and quality
My guitar just got a flawless sound with this strings, I'm impressed, they performed excellent and I still use them 2 years after buying
THE BEST!
The best there is.
A really good pack of 12 strings
I use them on my Epiphone G1275 and I can say that they are indeed a really good sounding pack of strings. They preserve that sound for a really long time and if I had cleaned them properly I could have still been using my old ones.
They aren't of such expensive brands, but they are still really good for their price. And because they are a 12-string set they aren't going to be prone to breakage, because most of the times strings break on bending and how often are you going to bend while using a 12-strings guitar? I haven't had a broken string of that pack.
All in all, Daddario EXL150 are my go-to for 12 strings, because their sound, intonation and overall quality surely meets my needs.
Daddario scores again!
Keeps the bright chimey sound for a long time. No complaints!
Great strings
A good sounding string the first time i have used them.
Great Strings
My double neck has never been more thankful, the strings have a nice bell like quality and when you drive your amp, the clarity is still there but it just sounds huge, think like the riff to "The Dissident" by Slash, so yeah they sound nice and work great, just wish Harley Benton made a 12 string electric set
The go-to strings for electric 12 string
I've been using these strings on 3 different electric 12 strings for a few years and they really do the job - light enough to make things easier, but tight enough to avoid being flappy!
The 3 guitars I use them on are all very different, with different scale lengths and feels. In all cases these strings deliver great sound - nice and bright with just the right degree of 12 string sparkle.
D'addario quality is good too - High 3rd strings can be pretty flimsy but I never have a problem with these snapping. Intonation and durability are great too, The strings last a long time and keep their tone and intonation well if you keep them clean.
Great value !!
The "Daddario EXL150" 12 string electric guitar string set in nickel plated steel, these were supplied from the factory with my Danelectro DC59 twelve string, they sounded great and the factory setup, (was probably the best I have had on any new guitar !!) so I was happy to find the Daddario strings are cheap and readily available.
The set are made up with plain and round wound strings, gauges are 010/010 - 013/013 - 008/017 - 012/w026 - 018/w036 - w026/w046.
These are fairly "bright" sounding strings when new, I find they take a couple of days to stretch in and for the sound to dull a little, after that they sound great - clean, clear and stable, with the little Danelectro they give that classic 12 string jangle, full, crisp and articulate.
I use Elixir nano webs on all my six string electrics so I'm used to strings lasting a long time, the Daddario are obviously not in the same league but they do last quite a long time and certainly for the price they are quite brilliant.
I would find it hard to pay three or four times as much for the equivalent set of Elixirs when these perform so well, I think the only reason I would try an alternative is maybe to try a set of flat wounds some time for a real vintage tone but until them I'm more than happy to stick with the Daddario's.
Pretty good strings
brought these for my Double Six twelve sting electric by Burns as replacement strings. They are very nice and have a very clean bright sparkly sound. tehy have lasted quite well and of of a good quality. shame there isn't a harley benton equivalent thought !
