A gauge designed to increase impact without sacrificing comfort

The D'Addario EXL116 set combines treble strings in 11-14-18 offering moderate flexibility for bends and expressive playing, with bass strings in 30-42-52 to maintain a solid foundation, particularly appreciated in drop tuning and styles where rhythmic precision must remain impeccable. From the XL Nickel Wound range, these strings are made from a nickel-plated steel wire precisely wound around a carbon steel core: the result is reliable intonation, good durability, and a bright tone that easily cuts through the mix, from rock to metal and muscular blues.
