Description
Baritone guitars need strings that can handle the extra scale length and lower tuning without going flabby, and that’s exactly where the EXL158 set earns its keep. D’Addario built these on the same nickel-wound formula that made the XL line their best-seller, so you get that familiar bright, articulate voice, but scaled up in gauge (.013-.062) to add the tension and clarity a baritone setup demands.
Nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core gives these strings a magnetic response that pickups love, plus a smooth feel under the fingers that doesn’t fight you during fast riffs or heavy chugging. Every string is precision-wound and gauged so your intonation lands right where it should, string to string, fret to fret – no fighting the tuner, no dead spots.
If you’re the type who swaps strings often (and you should be, especially on a baritone that sees regular drop-tuned abuse), you already know how much a fresh set changes the feel of an instrument. Old strings go dull, lose sustain, and start slipping out of tune mid-set. This EXL158 pack brings back the snap and low-end growl that makes baritone playing fun in the first place.
