Lee Brunk from Seattle, WA, USA
Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 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. Reliability How has it stood up over time? XLs last about half again as long as the Ernie Balls and Boomers I used to play. They break less often too. Overall 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. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? XLs keep their tuning really well after the first couple playings. Bend 'em, wang 'em, they just don't care. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? Full and brilliant with a crisp attack. Finish How did the stain or paint job look? N/A Action How was the action out of the box? Depends on the gauge of course!

Quality Would you consider this product to be made well? How dependable? 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. Reliability How has it stood up over time? I've been using D'Addarios now for over 8 years and have never had any problems with them at all! Overall Your general opinion of this product. These are the best strings, period! I've tried other brands, and nothing compares to these. Playability and Feel How does it feel, Heavy, Fast, Chunky? How was the neck? Are the controls easy to get to while playing? I use the 9's and they're extremely comfortable on my Fender Strat. Tone Bright and snappy? Dark and smooth? Were the pickups hot, mellow, thick, thin? 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!
