I've used these for years and they always satisfy!

I've gone thru many brands and this is the one I rely upon. I rarely suffer from strings breaking (knock on wood!). I can keep a set on for weeks sometimes months and they keep on going. These are especially great for floyd rose setups. They bend awesomely. Just give them a good stretching when stringing up and they're good to go. Very stable. They have great shelf life. Granted, I've quite a few guitars so I can go thru a box relatively quickly. But I wouldn't hesitate to recommend a box even if you have only one guitar and change strings once a month. I string my Hamers, Strats, Ibanez and LPs with these. I have them on a couple of teles as well. Except for one tele (an old one) which I always string with Roto 10s for it's unique tone and feel. (but those wear out quickly and get dull). On my Hamer Special FM, they are really great and so comfortable to play. The tone I get from that guitar with these strings is awesome.

Always Awesome Strings

Have been using these strings for years and not once been disappointed with them. Great deal from Sweetwater on price and service...can't beat that either!!!

Great strings all around

Ive been playing a long time and I've tried a LOT of different strings.
I always wind up back with D"addario strings eventually..
The tone IMHO i checks all my boxes for what a good set of strings encompasses . I usually buy two boxes of ten sets at a time. That sums up how much I like this company. I also use their nylon strings for my classical guitar

Best Strings on the Planet

I have been using XL120's for about 21 years. When I first started playing I had nothing but trouble with every other brand of strings, they either broke easily or cost too much for a teenager. The D'Addario's were endorsed, at the time, by guys like Satriani and Vai so how could I have gone wrong. And even though I still can't play like those shredders I can appreciate a great string. Buy 'em you'll love 'em.

This is one of the best pack I've ever had and it is my first ones to have and will buy even more when the ones I've got gets old.

MUST buy.

Best strings made

As a player of 35+ years, the feel of a string becomes more critical each day. The second most critical aspect is longevity. I switched to D’Addario several years ago after a near lifetime with another brand and I am very happy I did. Fantastic sounding string that feels great and lasts.

Great strings, worked well on my guitar.

Needed to change strings on my Epi Sheraton II, and these were awesome on that guitar. Reallt brought out thr tones that this guitar can produce.
