Description
Swap out those dead, floppy strings for a set that actually pushes back. The D’Addario EXL145 is a Heavy gauge XL Nickel Wound set, running .012, .016, .020 plain steel up to .032, .042, .054 nickel wound — enough tension to stay stable when you drop-tune or just want more string under your fingers without the wobble of a lighter set.
These are round wound, so you get that familiar textured feel most of us grew up on, paired with nickel-plated steel wrap wire for the bright, cutting tone that’s become the industry standard across genres. Underneath, D’Addario winds each string onto a hexagonally shaped high-carbon steel core — the six flat edges bite into the wrap wire and hold it tight, so the string breaks in fast and then holds its tone instead of going dull on you a week later.
Every set comes out of D’Addario’s own precision winding machines, built entirely in the USA, with tight incoming-wire inspection so gauge-to-gauge and set-to-set consistency isn’t a guessing game. The packaging is corrosion resistant too, so the set sitting in your case or gig bag stays fresh until you actually need it — no surprise oxidation the day before a show.
