D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL120-7 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 7 String Guitars - 09-54 Super Light 7-String

Historically, I've used EB Hybrid Slinky 2222 Orange package strings that have the low 3 strings from a set of 10s and the high 3 strings from a set of 9s. For me this is perfect because you get the best of both worlds: thicker low strings for sludgy or crunchy chording and lighter, thinner, easier to bend higher strings for single-note phrases, runs and solos.However, I'm mainly a bass player, so I've bought D'addario bass strings for a long time as I prefer their black nylon tape-wound strings and while they're still pricey for a 5-string set, they do not compare to the expense of the more famous brands of black nylon tape-wound strings, which can exceed $100/set. D'addario also gives you codes redeemable for points towards free sets of strings and since I maintain a veritable fleet of instruments and do luthier/guitar tech work, I go through A LOT of strings.Finding that D'addario makes a set that gauge matches my preferred guitar strings means that I can still get what I want/need while maximizing my ability to get rewards and earn FREE string sets. It's all coming up Milhouse!!

I've used D'addario for 45 years and you can't beat the sound, the quality or longevity. I tried another famous brand recently because they were on sale and a string came apart at the ball end on two of the six sets, but maybe it's like car brands, some people have good luck with one and other people have good luck with another.

Estoy aprendiendo a tocar la guitarra, pero aun así, uno puede identificar cuando un producto tiene buena calidad y hasta el momento estas cuerdas han cumplido con mis expectativas.

This was excellent and well worth the price I will buy again

excelentes cuerdas para guitarra a buen precio

Good brand then I need it for my guitar

Very good strings will buy again.

I've been playing D'Addario strings for over 30 years now and I've bought hundreds of sets over the years. I've tried many others in the past, but now I just figure why bother, nothing has ever exceeded them, and usually other brands come up short. D'Addario strings never seem to have problems like excessive breakage, old/tarnished strings, or just inferior tone/quality that I have experienced with others. I buy both acoustic and electric strings, and also bass strings, although acoustic is my main instrument.If I have one tip for you, it's this. If you are wondering why you can't get the vintage sound of 70s acoustic guitars or earlier, BUY THE D'ADDARIO 80/20 ACOUSTIC STRINGS. Personally I live for this sound and I consider it the ultimate and most superior tone of tones. If you want the modern acoustic sound (1980s onward), then sure, buy Phosphor Bronze or the coated strings. But those 80/20 D'Addario strings are the holy grail imo.I also consider these strings (EXL140 light top/heavy bottom) to be the pinnacle of electric strings, but honestly, if you play only heavy metal, maybe try the Pro Steels, and if you only play blues, maybe try the Pure Nickel instead of Nickel Wound. But these to me are the Goldilocks strings, perfect, right down the middle, balanced, tough, stay in tune really well. You can't go wrong. The heavy bottom really helps eliminate string buzz and gives a solid strong bass, while the light top allows for great bending and perfect playability.
