The D'Addario EXL145 is a heavy-gauge electric guitar string set wound with nickel-plated steel on a hex-shaped high-carbon steel core. At .012–.054, these strings sit in familiar heavy territory but swap out the wound G for a plain steel .020 — which gives you a more flexible feel under your fingers compared to a standard wound 3rd at this gauge.
These are a solid pick if you're playing in drop or down-tuned territory, or just prefer the added tension and weight of a heavier set for rhythm-heavy playing. XL Nickel Wound strings are precision wound with nickel-plated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core, resulting in strings with long-lasting, distinctive bright tone and excellent intonation. The precision-drawn hexagonal core allows the wrap wire to grip the core for superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation.
They're made in the USA and packaged in environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging to keep them fresh right up until you open the pack.
