The EXL140 hybrid set represents D'Addario's clever approach to string engineering, pairing the flexibility of .010 high strings with the punch of .052 low strings. This popular combination gives guitarists the best of both worlds - bendable treble strings for expressive lead work and robust bass strings that handle heavy chording with authority.
Specifically designed for down tuning and drop tuning applications, the EXL140 set takes the high strings from the renowned EXL110 pack and matches them with heavier gauge low strings. The result is a balanced tension that maintains playability while providing the powerful low-end response that modern players demand.
Built on D'Addario's proven XL Nickel Wound construction, these strings feature precision winding of nickel plated steel around a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. This manufacturing process produces strings with exceptional intonation, long-lasting brightness, and the distinctive tone that has made XL Nickel Wound the choice for countless guitarists across all musical styles.
