D'Addario EXL117 Medium Top/Extra Heavy Bottom 11-56 Electric Guitar Strings
Optimised for D Tuning
D'Addario XL Nickel Wound EXL117 electric guitar strings are a high-performance set of strings specifically designed for heavy music styles and drop tunings. They feature a hexagonal steel core that enhances the string's flexibility and resonance, resulting in a powerful and dynamic tone.
These strings are optimized for D tuning (1 step down) and have a medium top and extra-heavy bottom gauge (11-56), which provides a balanced tension across all strings, making them ideal for playing in lower tunings without losing sound quality. The wound strings are made of nickel-plated steel that offers excellent durability and a bright, crisp sound, while the plain strings are made of high carbon steel that enhances tuning stability and reduces the risk of breakage.
Whether you're a metal shredder, a heavy rock player, or someone who likes to experiment with alternate tunings, the D'Addario XL Nickel Wound EXL117 strings are the perfect choice for achieving a rich and aggressive sound with superior intonation and clarity.
