I needed some more bendy strings in order to play while I built up my callouses and my finger strength! These were perfect fits!
I put them on my axe and away I went. Now I'm graduating to the 9's in NYXL and will be putting 10's back on post haste!
Love me some DD's!
Strong, in tune and bendable as h-e-double hockey sticks!

D'addario never let me down. I played Ernie Balls initially in the late 90's and early 2k's. My buddy had some D'addarios and gave me a pack to restring my guitar at a point in the 2010's. I was instantly a huge fan and although I've tried other brands, nothing feels like a D'addario to me. The way they play, bend, sound. This is my go-to.

Super light strings fill a niche
By: Indiana Bob
Submitted: 1/31/2023
Product Review
These super light gauge strings fit a niche on certain guitars that have a great amount of tension across the neck. I will probably not string many instruments with this gauge, but for very specific situations they are a blessing to ease the playability. I only wish the manufacturers would have developed these products years ago.

My "Go To" Strings!
By: PickyPlayer
Submitted: 10/5/2020
Product Review
I've been using the EXL Nickel Wound 10s for years and they've never let me down. They have a very robust quality that brings my electrics to life! They impart a rich tone, are long-lasting and I've never had a problem with breakage. The overall tension is just right for me and the output level of each string is extremely well-balanced. I use them on various guitars with scale lengths from 24.5" to 25.5" and they feel fine with them all. Lastly, they are very affordable considering their consistent high level of quality!

I have always used Da'addario EJ 16's for Acoustic strings and used to use Dean Markley for Electric (which are still very good strings). However, I have had a more and more difficult time finding Dean Markley strings so several months ago I decided to try these D'Addario's for my Electric and have been very happy with them and they are much more readily available for me. I would still use the Dean Markley's I used to have decided to keep it in the D'Addario family :)

I have been using XL120’s for over 25 years. They are great strings but for Strat they are ok. The XL 125 are perfect for Strat! You get a warmer low end but have a lighter top end so you can still go crazy on bends. I find my fingers get less tired with “9”s. I know a lot of you will go flat before 9 but give this set a try first.

Having D'Addario EXL 130 8-38s on my 25.5" scale, concert pitch tuned instruments has been a godsend for me. Being a product of the 70s/80s and the 'bigger is better' mentality associated with those times, I was fearful my tone would be uninspiring and move me away from gigging altogether after hand injuries and surgery. I was quite surprised and elated. The tone is great! My hand isn't destroyed at the end of the night. My heart is still full of the musical wonder. My bandmates and I are overjoyed! Thank you, D'Addario!

I have used these strings for many years without issues.
Minimal stretch or break in time, clean consistent sound, great life span. I buy in bulk and change often. I have used the 9-46 for years then I transitioned to the 10-46, then back to a 9-42 and that is where i'm at now. I try new string brands often, but I always come back to these.
Highly recommended! I make it a habit to throw a 10 pack or so on every other order through AMS. You can put in on a payment plan with a larger purchase with minimal affect on the payment.

I have used these strings since day one. 30 years ago I changed strings on a Fender Squire Bullet and used D'Addario strings. These strings are long lasting, have a great balanced tone, and is a great value. Consistent for 30 years, I love my D'Addario strings!!

Searched high and low for a set of D'Addario EXL 110 strings with a wound G string. Found them at AMS!!! Took some digging through the website but finally hit pay dirt! I knew if they were out there, AMS would have them. All my electric solid bodies have the unwound G, but one hollow body with a single P90 pickup came originally set up with the wound G string and I wanted to keep the exact same tone. Needless to say, they're perfect for that particular guitar. Bought 3 sets, and will be getting more. All my electric guitars have D'Addario's on them. Great strings.

I often try other brands of strings based on price or reviews, all in all I find them comparably close in tone or strength. I have recently been going back and forth with Ernie Ball and D'Addario but the one that always outlasts the competition is D'Addario, that's why I always go back. They sound great when I put them on and they still sound great when its show-time. The hot swampy summer whether of the North East can really take a toll on my strings. And I gig sometimes 3 nights a week. I need something that lasts a while. D'Addario's keep their new string sound much longer than others.

I'm a very hard and agressive guitar player! and these guitar strings get me through a whole

every week, I buy these strings in bulk, and usuall change them prior to each weekend, i change them Thursday and then again the following Thursday, they hav'nt let me down yet! 5.0
Your general opinion of this product.
an awsome product Iv'e used various
different gauges of DAdderio electric and Acousstic guitar strings. overall 5.0
these stings, EXL125 help with keeping my guitar in tune for longer periods of time, with the light top heavy bottom set up .46 thru .09 great feel and a fat heavy tone, really noticable on the lower strings, I just raise the pickups up a bit and I get my heavier tone with the lighter top end string's as well! 5.0
Great Tone, which is adjustable anyway. 5.0
I prefer the nickel plated round wound strings for feel especialy when brand new, however with proper cleaning between playing out and practice they retain their finish longer! 5.0
Great action! I like mine low! 5.0

The best strings money can buy
By: Lee Brunk from Seattle, WA, USA
Submitted: 7/22/2010
I have yet to play a better guitar string. Maxim and Elixir sound interesting but kind of pricey for what would probably be a disappointing gain if any over the XLs.
XLs last about half again as long as the Ernie Balls and Boomers I used to play. They break less often too.
Your general opinion of this product.
I used Ernie Balls, DR, GHS Boomers, until I finally decided to give the XLs a shot about 12 years ago. Wow, what a difference... they break less often, sound brilliant, crisp attack, and they offer a 10-pack that both sweetens the price further and makes it so I don't need to run to Guitar Center all the time.
XLs keep their tuning really well after the first couple playings. Bend 'em, wang 'em, they just don't care.
Full and brilliant with a crisp attack.

As I stated, these are simply put, the best strings on the market. I've tried Fender,Slinky's, Dean Markley's, etc, but nothing compares to these.
I've been using D'Addarios now for over 8 years and have never had any problems with them at all!

These are the best strings, period! I've tried other brands, and nothing compares to these.
I use the 9's and they're extremely comfortable on my Fender Strat.
These have a very bright tone which is long lasting. Usually, I can go about a month before I have to change a set, which is pretty good for a player like me, who usually plays everyday!

The only string I've found worth buying
By: Alex from Atlanta from Atlanta, Ga
Submitted: 12/8/2008
A quality product, though there are occasional issues, they are predominantly easy to tune and hold tune well over time.
I can count on a set, with moderate to heavy play, for a coupe of weeks to a month. I've had to dabble with gauge, but once you find the right fit it's easy to get a good amount of ewar from these strings.
Your general opinion of this product.
This is a quality, well-made product.
Depending on the gauge, these strings can sound chunky, bluesy, thick or bright. It's most about style, and these are versatile, particularly for the price.
Dynamic, and malleable.
A decent finish, but looks matter little when compared to playability and tone.
Good action out of the box. Need to make sure that the same strings are used or intonation should be adjusted to get the best action and sound.
