About DAddario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL157
Overall Feedback:
68% positive
72% praised the corrosion resistance, while 28% experienced issues
I have complained about the tarnish and corrosion of my electric guitar strings, causing them to go flat sounding. The winding separating over the fret bars exposes the inner solid string, which accelerates the corrosion process.
65% appreciated the long-lasting strings, though 35% experienced premature wear
These strings are not as durable as StringJoy strings, but they are a good backup option in case of a broken string due to their affordability.
DAddario strings are the only ones that have not broken instantly.
After only 3 days of playing, the string broke at the ball end. I was not playing hard.
67% praised the tone quality, while 33% found it dull
I find the strings to be too bright, but they stay in tune, have a nice feel, and can take a beating.
64% liked the stable tuning, but 36% desired more
On my Ibanez RG7, even when tuned down a half-step from standard, the strings are loose and wobbly.
