D'Addario

collapse expand iconDescription

The D'Addario EXL110 Nickel Light strings are widely considered the industry standard for electric guitarists. For over 50 years, D'Addario has been producing high-quality strings that deliver a bright tone, long life, and reliable intonation. The EXL110 set is one of their most popular, providing the ideal gages and flexibility for rock, blues, and country playing.

Iconic Bright Tone

The EXL110 strings are made with a high carbon steel core and nickel-plated steel wrap wire, which produces a distinctive bright tone that cuts through mixes. The nickel plating also provides a smooth feel that reduces fret wear. These attributes have made the EXL110s a staple in recording studios and on stages around the world.

Optimal Gauges for Versatility

With gauges of 10, 13, 17, 26, 36, and 46, the EXL110 set offers light tension and flexibility suitable for most playing styles. The lighter gauges on the high strings make bending and fretting easy, while the heavier low strings provide a solid bass response. This combination of gauges results in a balanced tension across the fretboard that plays fast and feels natural.

Roadworthy Durability

D'Addario is renowned for producing high-quality, roadworthy strings, and the EXL110s are no exception. Built to withstand the rigors of touring, these nickel-plated steel strings can last through multiple performances while still retaining their tone and intonation. For guitarists on the road or in the studio, the EXL110s provide reliability and consistency show after show.

A Legacy of Excellence

For over 50 years, D'Addario has been the world's largest manufacturer of musical instrument strings. They are constantly innovating and improving string technology to provide guitarists the tools they need to achieve their ideal tone. The EXL110 Nickel Light strings demonstrate D'Addario's commitment to excellence and their enduring impact on music.

Can't go wrong with XL's!

These multi-packs give my dollars more mileage, and the strings have rocked my guitars for 25+ years! They are great for any style, and are sonically more consistent from string to string, pack to pack. The tension, the timbre, the feel - I have not played another string that is as dependable and unchanging as D'Addario XL 10's!

Don't waste your money on these.

These are OK if you can't find anything better. Still prefer either Fender, Gibson strings.

    Been buying Daddario strings for years. They're the best! Great tone and reliability. Also helpful that the ball ends are color coded haha. And that combined with their player's Circle features makes the whole experience great. Will definitely continue to shop with Daddario for all my string needs, and I would easily recommend them to anyone!

  • Good strings, bad packaging.

    I really like the strings, but I don't like that all 6 of them are in one package and you have to figure out which one is which based on the color of the ball end. I prefer GHS Boomers, but these or Elixirs are my second choice.
