Description
D’Addario’s EXL140-8 brings the XL Nickel Wound formula—the company’s most popular electric string construction—to 8-string guitars, extending crisp highs and articulate detail down through a heavier low end. Each string is wound with high-conductivity nickel-plated steel around a hex-shaped high-carbon steel core, a combination chosen for consistent output and long-lasting tone.
- Gauges: .010, .013, .017, .028, .038, .048, .059, .074
- Light Top/Heavy Bottom configuration suited to extended-range 8-string setups
- Nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a bright, well-defined voice with balanced warmth
- Hex-shaped steel core for reliable intonation and stable tuning
- Precision-manufactured to tight tolerances for consistent feel and response string to string
This set is engineered for players who need clarity and punch on the top strings while keeping the low end tight and defined—useful for everything from clean chordal work to heavier riffing on the extended range. Whether you’re setting up a new 8-string or refreshing your current strings, the EXL140-8 delivers the tonal character D’Addario’s XL line is known for, scaled to fit the demands of a wider string range.
