comfortable and lasting
| Comments |
-These are the only electric strings i buy. they are nickel wound, have round cores, and at full tension in standard "E" tuning, have 107.2 lbs of tension. These are measured for pressure/ tension strength with a 25.5 inch scale-length.
-These strings seem to last a while, and have a good tone to them. as advertised, they tend to be a little brighter. the guitars that i have these on are; an ibanez rgt42, an rg520, and soon to be a, very modified, Samick Malibu.I personally feel that these strings have a similar tone and feel to DR "pure blues"
-I also love the fact that i can get these at most music stores, and are available at most online dealers as well. I would recommend purchasing these in a bulk pack of 3 or 10 packs, because there is a 5-7 dollar price slash depending on where you look.

-they would be perfect if they were coated in a thin protector (similar to DR strings). I feel that that coating allows your fingers to slide a little easier/smoother.

Great strings for the price.
| Comments |
When I'm looking for the perfect set of 10 gauge strings, I turn here. These are my favorite. These have the perfect sound when I'm tinkering with something I want a warm, medium tone out of my high strings. I've uses these strings almost exclusively throughout my playing time. I've tried other strings and other gauges within the D'Addario range and between these and the 9 gauge, I haven't put any more time in a set of strings. I love them.

Great feel to the strings.

Again, I tend to find a batch that a few of the strings break on me, but not too often.
I can't think of anything else I didn't like.

Probably the best set of 10s out there
| Comments |
Been using D'Addario strings for the past 14 years. Maybe its a comfort thing but I have tried others such as Dean Markleys, DRs, Ernie Balls, Fender, Elixers and always come back to Daddario. The EXL110s have been on my guitars exclusively for the past few years, before that I went through four years or so of EXL120s, and still further back usually EXL140 when I played heavier stuff (metal).
Ultimately if I ever want to try some different gauge strings I wouldn't hesitate to try D'Addario's offering before otheres.

Long lasting great sounding strings!
| Comments |
I have been using D'addario strings since I first started playing. For a couple of years I did go and try other brands to see what was out there but I came back to D'adario for several reasons. First, they sound great and last a good amount of time. They are not too bright, not too dark. They seem to keep the 'new string' tone for a nice amount of time. Plus I rarely ever break them, which is a great quality! Second they are extremely common. If I was ever in dire need of strings in some rural town with a dinky music store, chances are they carry D'addario. Another reason why I use D'addario is because they are consistent. I have only one one string be 'bad' out of probably close to a 300 sets I have purchased. Just great reliable strings all around.

Best Go-To Strings
| Comments |
These are my go to strings for my Ibanez Jem. They sound good. And if you wipe them down after you're playing they last really long and hold tune. Oh and best of all, they're cheap and you can find them anywhere.
The tone is a little on the brighter side but it very full bodied. Its one of the better sounding strings I've heard at that price point.

Cheap
Sounds good
Breaks less frequently than other strings in its price range (Ernie Ball)

If you don't wipe them down they do corrode fairly quickly.

The best option for me
| Comments |
I've been playing by some time with D'Addario and I've compared them with Ernie Ball, Elixir and GNI (NIG in Brazil) and it is way superior in overall, the others have their good points but in the overall D'Addario is the best option for me
|
| Liked about it |
Durability: I've spent 2 months without changing strings
Tone: For me it has a very good tone even when using low tunings
Where to buy: Here in Brazil it is really, and I mean really easy to find
|
| Didn't like |
Price: In one hand it is easy to find, in the other they are pretty expensive if you don't look into the right place

The best I've tried yet...
| Comments |
These are the most comfortable, smoothest strings I've ever used on my 25.5 scale guitars. I would recommend anybody to try these strings before Ernie Ball and other manufacturers such as Rotosound and Elixir. The 10 gauge set is my favorite for standard tuning at this scale length, they seem to 'settle' quite quickly too. The thinner non-ball end side of the string helps getting it through the machine head post without too much trouble, and (if you care about the environment) the packaging is much more environmentally friendly than Ernie Ball's at the moment.

Consistent from pack to pack.
Sound great.
Feel VERY COMFORTABLE.

Sometimes I feel they lose their 'newness' rather quickly.
The occasional High E string will snap (or the G), however this is EXTREMELY RARE.
They don't come with a spare high E.
