The Most Popular Hybrid Gauge, in 5-String Version
The EXL165-5 set follows the logic of D'Addario's iconic hybrid gauge: it combines treble strings from the EXL170 set and bass strings from the EXL160 set, then adds a low B string at.135. The result: a comfortable tension under the fingers, a clear response on pick attacks as well as fingerstyle, and a present low end without being overwhelming.
