The EXL116 hybrid set strikes the perfect balance between playability and power, featuring an .011 gauge on top paired with a hefty .052 on the bottom. This unique combination provides moderate flexibility across the higher strings whilst maintaining a booming, tight low end that's been specifically optimised for down tuning applications.
These strings belong to D'Addario's XL Nickel Wound range, which stands as their most popular electric guitar string series. The construction involves precision winding of nickel plated steel around a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped high carbon steel core, resulting in exceptional durability and performance.
The outcome is a set of strings that maintains long-lasting, distinctive bright tone characteristics alongside excellent intonation properties. This makes the EXL116 set ideal for accommodating the widest variety of guitars and musical styles, particularly for players who require the versatility of hybrid gauging.
