EXL110BT XL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - .010-.046 Balanced Tension Regular Light Review

My Gold Glory Les Paul loves em!

Great strings! I run these on my Epiphone Jared James Nichols Gold Glory Les Paul Custom. 9s on that guitar are just too light and it loses its mojo. It had a wrap tail piece like a les Paul Junior. So the 10s are perfect for that guitar. These balanced tension sets rock! The way they feel under the fingers and the evenness they provide from string to string just feels right. The… read more treble strings bend like they should. The low strings have the balls you need to lay into the guitar without going out of tune! Great strings!

These are my favorite strings for electric guitar

I have these on all my electrics (except the jazz box which has labellas on it) because I love the even tone and smooth feel that they have. Strats, Shredders, Teiscos, this set does it all wonderfully. 10s are a nice balance between stiffness and playability. I don't understand why other string manufacturers don't make balanced tension sets like these, they're just the best.

The best feeling string!

I"ve been using these for a couple of years now. I switched over to D"Addario"s because I kept breaking Ernie Balls. Not only do I hardly ever break a string anymore, but I also love the feel and tuning stability of the D"Addario"s. The balanced tension set has made all of my guitars feel great, and really consistent. Definitely worth trying out.

An Excellent String Set

I can't say that the balanced tension is that big of a deal to me "under the fingers", but I have very large and strong hands, so I should probably be playing 11's anyway; at least on my 24.75" scale guitars. I do like the idea of balanced string tension, though, especially as it regards the forces at work on the guitar itself. People have been using "unbalanced tension" string… read more sets since the invention of stringed instruments, so there's clearly no reason to think that it has an adverse affect on the instrument. I just don't know why all string sets haven't been put together as "balanced tension" sets ever since we've been able to calculate the tension of each string. It should be the rule, not the exception, at least in my mind. Give them a try, you may or may not notice much of a difference in feel, but you likely won't be disappointed by D'Addario strings in general. I've been extremely happy since I switched to them a few years ago. Cheers!

D'Addario does it again !

I have been a D'Addario user for years and these balanced tension sets are excellent. They give a more even feel across the board, they're quicker, and give you more control over your bends ! I would recommend these to any guitarist. It doesn't matter what style or genre of music you play, these strings are excellent !
