Legendary Construction, Legendary Tone
D'Addario pioneered the use of nickel-plated steel for electric guitar strings over 50 years ago. The EXL120 strings demonstrate why this material has endured, producing a bright yet warm, well-balanced tone with outstanding clarity and projection. The nickel plating is highly resistant to corrosion, keeping your strings fresh and preventing premature dulling of tone. Pair this with a hexagonal core and precision winding, and you have a recipe for strings that intonate accurately, hold tune reliably and feel consistent set after set.Comfortably Light Without Sacrificing Sustain
The EXL120 Super Light gauge offers an ideal blend of flexibility and fullness. The plain steel strings have a light 0.009" gauge, making bends and fretting effortless while still producing a bold fundamental tone. The wound strings provide thick, meaty mids and lows without feeling stiff or unresponsive. Whether you have a light touch or an aggressive attack, these strings will sing with rich overtones and satisfying sustain.
