The EXL125 XL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings Set is a unique hybrid gauge set, ingeniously merging the flexibility of EXL120 with the robust low end of EXL110. These strings, widely recognized as the industry benchmark, are perfectly suited for an extensive range of musical styles, from rock to jazz, blues to country.
Crafted with precision, these D'Addario's most popular guitar strings are meticulously wound with nickel-plated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The outcome is a set of strings that deliver a long-lasting, distinctive, bright tone and excellent intonation, making them an ideal choice for a diverse array of guitars and musical genres.
The round wound strings offer the familiar feel and tone that most guitarists prefer. This unique string construction marries the strength of the steel core with the tonal properties of the wrap wire alloy, delivering a sound that's both robust and resonant.
The EXL125 strings are wound to perfection using state-of-the-art string winding technology, designed and built by D'Addario's expert engineering team. This ensures a production capacity of 500,000 to 700,000 strings per day, with digitally-controlled string winding machines guaranteeing productivity, accuracy, and consistency.
The hexagonal core construction, a pioneering innovation by D'Addario, allows the wrap wire to grip the core tightly, resulting in superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation.
