A Best-Selling 7-String Set for Smooth and Precise Playing
A reference among D'Addario 7-string sets, the EXL120-7 is designed for guitarists seeking a flexible feel under the fingers without sacrificing attack. Its Super Light 9-54 gauge facilitates bends, legato, and fast runs, while maintaining a sufficiently present 7th string for a precise and defined sound. An excellent choice for 7-string electric guitars used in rock, metal, fusion, or styles requiring clarity and dynamics.
Nickel Wound XL: Brightness, Durability, and Playing Comfort
The XL Nickel Wound strings are among the brand's most popular electric guitar strings. They are made from a nickel-plated steel wire precisely wound around a carefully machined carbon steel core. The result: a distinctive bright tone, balanced response across the entire fretboard, and reliable intonation, both in standard 7-string tuning and alternate tunings. Made in the USA, they deliver consistent performance, repetition after repetition.
