Description
The EXL145 set from D’Addario’s XL Nickel Wound line brings a heavier gauge string to players who want more mass under their fingers and more punch out of their amp. With a plain 3rd/G string included, this set is a favorite among guitarists who drop-tune or simply prefer the added stability and tension a heavier gauge provides.
Construction follows D’Addario’s classic round wound approach: nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core. That six-sided core shape isn’t cosmetic — it grips the wrap wire tightly at every turn, which keeps the string from slipping out of tune and extends its usable life. The result is the familiar bright, articulate voice that nickel wound strings are known for, paired with dependable intonation across the fretboard.
