The EXL140 hybrid gauge set represents D'Addario's innovative approach to string design, merging the flexibility of EXL110 gauges with heavier 4th, 5th and 6th strings to create a more substantial low end response. This unique combination provides guitarists with enhanced playability in the upper registers whilst maintaining the power and definition needed for robust rhythm work and lower tunings.
XL Nickel Wound strings have established themselves as the industry standard through decades of consistent performance across diverse musical styles. These strings feature precision winding of nickel plated steel around a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped high carbon steel core, resulting in exceptional longevity, distinctive bright tone and superior intonation accuracy suitable for virtually any guitar and genre.
The round wound construction provides the familiar feel and tonal characteristics that most players expect, combining the structural integrity of the steel core with the sonic properties of the wrap wire alloy. D'Addario's pioneering precision-drawn hexagonal core technology allows the wrap wire to grip more securely, ensuring superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability and precise intonation that remains consistent throughout the string's lifespan.
