A gauge designed for lower tunings

The D'Addario EXL140 set is designed for those who want to keep the "light" feel on the treble strings while benefiting from increased tension and definition on the bass strings. By combining the first three strings from the EXL110 (.010) with heavier bass strings up to.052, it delivers a firmer and more solid response on the rhythm side, especially useful when tuning down or playing aggressively.

The XL Nickel Wound standard: bright, durable, versatile

A benchmark in electric guitar strings, the XL Nickel Wound are made from a precisely wound nickel-plated steel wire around a carbon steel core. The result: a clear attack, distinctive bright tone, and excellent intonation across the entire fretboard, whether you play rock, metal, blues, or pop. The round winding also provides a familiar feel, perfect for chaining riffs, chords, and solos with consistent dynamics.
