About these strings
If you only keep one kind of string in the house, make it this one. The EXL110 is the 10-46 set most electric players already know: nickel-plated steel wound on a hex core, bright without being harsh, and predictable from the first bend. D'Addario calls it their best-selling electric set, and it has been in their catalog since 1974.
The 10-pack is for anyone who changes strings regularly or keeps more than one guitar going. You get ten full sets in one box, packed in D'Addario's corrosion-resistant bags so the sets you don't use right away stay fresh.
What you get
- 10 complete sets (60 strings) of EXL110 Regular Light
- Gauges: .010, .013, .017 plain steel and .026, .036, .046 nickel wound
- Nickel-plated steel wrap on a high-carbon steel hex core, round wound, uncoated
- About 102.5 lbs of total tension at standard tuning, by D'Addario's chart
- Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York factory
- Comes with a code for D'Addario's Players Circle rewards
