No better strings in the world to me.

Great strings

By Area 5. from Midwestern U.S.A.
Music Background: 40 year professional

I have been using the 10 pack D'addario EXL140 strings for 10 years. They are on on all my guitars. Nice solid bottom and bendable top strings. This makes the perfect balance for me. They are wrapped in a plastic air tight pouch so you'll have no corrosion issues. I find the consistency (intonation accuracy) from one set to the next to be the best I have tried. The bright tone is hard to beat. When you find what works best for you stay with it!

Perfect for Drop D

By Tayson

These are the D'addario version of the Ernie Ball string set with the same name. I've always personally preferred D'addario strings over other brands because to me they feel tighter. Anyways, if you are looking for a string set for Drop D tuning get these. The bottom end is nice and tight for all of your power chord chugging and top end is between tight and loose for bends and soloing. I always keep a set of these on hand.
