D'Addario EXL110 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, Regular Light, 10-46

I received the D'Addario XL110 nickel wound regular light gauge guitar strings, and strung them onto a Fender "T-Bucket" acoustic/electric guitar. They play adequately for a lighter gauge of string. Their intonation is bright and consistent, while still allowing variation in touch for expression and subtlety when playing. These strings respond well to a lighter touch, which makes these strings well suited to those with smaller hands or reduced hand strength. Less use of finger force makes for extended time enjoying playing music. These strings, while quite flexible and great for general purpose playing by a wide variety of players, are likely not well suited to either end of the playing spectrum, including slack key on one end and head banger, thrasher at the other extreme. When loosened for slack key style, they have issues holding truly consistent intonation compared to other strings engineered for that specific style of playing. If your style lends to the other end of the spectrum, metal and head banger stuff, be prepared for inconsistent distortion and tone quality. In summary, these strings are excellent for the daily player who finger picks, solos and chords. They will be very adequate for both the occasional and the professional player whose repertoire runs from folk music to medium rock-n-roll. Pick up a set and give them a test run to see what I'm talking about.

Wasn't sure what to expect with these new d'addario exl 110 strings but they provide awesome sound. The depth of the chord sound is a real plus. I think I'm going to p on some of my other guitares. Because of the ease of adjustment and sound in particular. I'm so glad I got to try these out.
