Daddario EXL120-3D

I use the these on my Fender Strat and PRS and the 110's on my Les Pauls. I have tried most makes of strings: Ernie Ball, Fender etc... I settled on D'addario years ago. I have never had a D'addario faulty string. Maybe I am lucky.

I have a Fender Deluxe Strat and it came with Fender strings. I tried the Fender Bullits, as they were the recommended strings for the guitar. As soon as the strings needed changing again, I went back to D'addario's. Apart from being cheaper, they definitely have a better bell tone to them and although it may be psychological, I prefer the 'feel' of them.

I love the sound of these, they are reasonably priced, especially from Thomann. A quick piece of advice: Always compare the price of multi packs. These packs of 3 work out at ¤4.80 a set. The packs of 10 work out at ¤4.90 a set. These EXL120-3D are the best value!

If you have never tried them, give them a go. I will be very surprised if you don't stick with them. I doubt I will ever use anything else on my electric guitars.

The D'Addario EXL120-3D strings are a set of three electric guitar strings that offer high sound quality, durability, and versatility. Here are a few key features and benefits of this model:

Bright Sound: The EXL120-3D strings are made of nickel-plated steel, which provides a bright, clear and rich sound. They are ideal for genres that require a clear and bright sound, such as rock, pop and blues.

Durable and long-lasting: D'Addario is known for its quality materials and innovative manufacturing techniques. The EXL120-3D strings have a durable construction that allows them to withstand heavy use and maintain a stable tuning for a long time.

Versatility: This set includes three strings with different thicknesses (e.g. 9-42), making it a versatile choice for different playing styles and guitarists' preferences. It is suitable for beginners and experienced musicians alike.

Cost-effective: Buying a set of three strings is usually a better option than buying strings individually. This saves you money and allows you to stock up on strings in case you need them.

Ever since I played the electric guitar, I have used the same particular set of strings through the years: The Daddario EXL120's. It may be the most basic set of 9's, but it works for me and it has done so for almost ten years! Never had problems with these strings.
I can play them with ease, but the strings do not sound tinny and they do quite well in the bass frequencies. They last quite long, I have broken just one or two strings in all these years. You don't need to change them every month or so. They will stay 'fresh' for longer than that.
The strings also do great on floating bridge systems too. With all the stress of the vibratos with the whammy bar, these strings don't seem to care.
Since I have multiple guitars, it is only convenient to buy a pack of three sets. I have used these strings for almost ten years and I'm planning on using them for the next ten years as well!

I've tried nearly all the strings out there and these are by FAR the best. Very great bright tone. Colour coded string ball ends is a great feature not many people mention, it makes string changes way quicker not having to look at the pack after every string once you learn the colours. Bright tone lasts For around two weeks for me [With very heavy Floyd Rose usage to add] and I kill EB strings in a day, Used them for 3 years now and only broke 1 high E string. I cant think of anything I don't like about these strings apart from maybe that the wound strings are bare at the end for the last inch or so which makes Floyd string changes a bit annoying. Nonetheless I wont use any other string Brand, 5/5.
