The Perfect Compromise for Heavy Riffs and Expressive Solos
The D'Addario EXL140 strings are among the most popular hybrid sets for electric guitarists because they combine the comfort of a "light" gauge on the treble strings with the solidity of a heavier gauge on the bass strings. The result: easier vibratos and bends while maintaining firm and powerful bass for palm mutes, heavy riffs, and clear attacks.
XL Nickel Wound Strings Designed to Last, Stay in Tune, and Sound Clear
Part of the XL Nickel Wound series, these strings are made from a precisely wound nickel-plated steel wire around a carefully machined carbon steel core. This construction offers excellent intonation, a smooth feel under the fingers, and a distinctive brightness that works well on modern high-gain guitars as well as more vintage setups. The EXL140-3D format (3 packs) is also designed to reduce waste and protect your strings from corrosion during storage.
