Description
The EXL140 set solves a common tuning dilemma: players want the easy bendability of light strings up top, but crave a beefier, more solid low end on the wound strings. D’Addario built this hybrid gauge set specifically for that balance, combining the familiar .010 top string feel with heavier 4th, 5th, and 6th strings for added punch and stability.
- Gauges: Plain Steel .010, .013, .017; Nickel Wound .030, .042, .052
- Round wound construction for the classic textured feel guitarists know and expect
- Nickel-plated steel windings deliver a bright, articulate tone with excellent intonation across styles
- Hexagonal high-carbon steel core grips the wrap wire tightly at all six edges, keeping the wind secure for longer string life
- Wound using D’Addario’s proprietary computer-controlled machines with strict wire inspection, so every set performs consistently
- Packaged to resist corrosion, keeping strings fresh until you’re ready to install them
- Made in the U.S.A.
Whether you’re chasing a heavier low-end response for drop tunings or simply want more stability without jumping to a full heavy gauge set, EXL140 gives you the best of both worlds. It’s a longtime favorite among players who need flexible bending on top and tighter, punchier tone underneath.
