My go-to's for many years, but maybe a touch too much for standard tuning

Martin V 04.11.2018

I've been using these strings on my guitar for many-many years now.
Only now am I realizing that maybe, playing 12s in standard tuning is not the best idea.
These strings work quite well for something like Drop C or maybe even D Standard tuning. If you play in standard tuning, I would suggest looking at some lighter gauge strings. Hammer-ons and pull-offs on the 1st fret are quite difficult in standard tuning with these strings (or at least they were on my cheap Peavey), and that's what finally did me in to look towards lighter gauges for standard tuning.

All in all, great strings for the price, but do have a moment to think about what strings you're using right now and how much more tension these strings bring to the table.

Great Choice for C tuning

AMD86 03.01.2022

I use these strings since 2011, i love them, i use them to tune to Standard C on 25.5 inch scale guitar. Tension is perfect for me, no problem with intonation (if guitar is set up correctly) sounds bright and they last really long (as long as you keep your guitar in the case if unused).

if you look to C tuning, this one will do the job perfectly.

I've used d'addario string for years now. I've had flings with other brands, but I allways seem to come back to the sound and feel of this brand.
After tuning my Edwards Les Paul to D-standard and later to C#-standard, I had to try a different gauge.
I like my strings quite thick, so I found this set (and the EXL148 for my Gibson Explorer that have a lower tension for some reason) and I could not be happier!

I do wish that the g-string was wound, but that is more of a misjudgement from my side than from D'addario.

However I think my next set will again be these strings, since even the competators can't give me something that sounds this good and sounds so fresh for so long.
