D'Add EXL120, 9-42

The D'Addario EXL120 Nickel Wound strings are the industry standard for "Super Light" electric guitar sets, featuring a 9-42 gauge that offers maximum flexibility and ease of playability. This gauge is the preferred choice for lead guitarists and players who utilize frequent string bends and vibrato, as the lower tension allows for effortless expression without hand fatigue. Precision-wound with highly magnetic nickel-plated steel onto a high-carbon steel hex core, the EXL120s deliver a bright, biting tone with excellent sustain and precise intonation. Whether you are a beginner looking for a comfortable start or a professional shredder needing a fast, responsive feel, these strings provide the reliable performance and versatile sonic "crunch" that has made the XL Nickel series a staple on stages and in studios worldwide.
