Description
The EXL115W takes D’Addario’s well-known XL115 gauge set and swaps the plain steel 3rd string for a wound one, a small change that makes a noticeable difference for blues and jazz players who prefer a softer, warmer response under the fingers. Every string is round wound with nickel-plated steel, giving you the crisp, articulate top end and reliable intonation that has made D’Addario XL sets a staple for decades.
At the core of each string sits a hexagonally shaped, high-carbon steel core. The six flat edges bite into the wrap wire as it’s wound on, locking each turn in place for a tighter wrap and a string that resists slipping out of tune or fraying prematurely. That construction is paired with D’Addario’s proprietary winding machines and rigorous incoming wire checks, so tension and tone stay consistent from string to string and set to set.
Packaging is corrosion-resistant, keeping strings fresh until you’re ready to install them, and every set is made in the U.S.A.
