Daddario EXL157

These are every bit as reliable, economical and with as great a tone as all other nickel plated D'Addario strings. They are very long and so fit my 28 5/8" scale baritone with enough spare to go round all the string posts comfortably. In standard 'B' baritone tuning I find the jump between the 3 thinnest strings to the 3 thickest is quite considerable (from a 26w to a 44w) and this makes them (at least for me) seem a bit unbalanced tension-wise. When tuned down to 'A' tuning, the bass strings feel better, but then the treble strings feel too soft! Obviously you will need to make sure that the lowest string can enter its tuning post -otherwise you will need to modify it (drilling it out a little). I liked these strings but think I will return to D'Addario's lighter baritone gauge because on my guitar they felt more balanced.

As an owner of 2 baritone guitars I have used these strings for low tunings and I can say that given the price which is a little lower than the Ernie Ball Slinky Baritone, when compared they feel more premium.
The sound is a little less warm but the tonality is more defined.
All in all they are great strings but the problem that I encountered is that the thicker string of the set is a .065 gauge in comparison with the Ernie Ball Baritone strings which offer a .072 gauge that worked better for tunings below A as I achieved better tension and stability.
In conclusion they do the job really well as long as you don't get too low.

Great strings! Bought them to try out some heavy strings as I'm normally playing with 8's-9's. I really like those strings a lot, especially for playing riffs. For soloing I wouldn't use them, but as long as I've bought them for fun I really enjoy writing stoner/doom riffs at the moment!

They just fit into my Gibson SG Standard - gauge '15 probably wouldn't. So if you play with Gibson, strings should fit without any need to drill holes, what I definitely wouldn't do.

Mostly tuned to drop A# as it feels best for me - You should go tone up or down without any problems, but haven't tried it out yet.

These strings are on my main axe´s (LP Style and a RGD 7string Build) + a smaller e String (.12).
The base sound is so huge, so you can feel the kick in the nuts from your cab without mumpfy on open powerchords and chugging.
My playstyle is from neoclassical till hardcore/djently open riffing and these strings are great sounding in the sweeping arpeggois with some open chuggy lowstring riffing.
I´ve never heard anything like this with other strings.
The condition is ok for me, on my mainaxe i must change the strings every two - three weeks(2-3 hours playtime every day) and my first backup axe get 1 pack every two months.
It isn´t a must have to change, but for recordings, fresh strings are your first choice
