The D'Addario EXL116 is a hybrid-gauge electric guitar string set built for players who want a medium feel on the high strings and serious tension on the low end. With an .011 on top and an .052 on the bottom, this set is specifically designed for down tuning — the lighter treble strings stay responsive and bendable while the heavier bass strings stay tight and defined.
These are round wound strings with a nickel-plated steel wrap wire wound onto a hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. That construction gives them a bright, articulate tone with precise intonation. They come in D'Addario's environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant VCI packaging, so they arrive fresh every time. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility.
