D'Addario EXL110-7 Lite 7-String Electric Guitar Strings

Comments about D'Addario EXL110-7 Lite 7-String Electric Guitar Strings:

I have 2 guitars: A Les Paul for standard tuning and drop D, and an Ibanez RG for lower tunings (C and B).I use these strings for my RG and leave out the 17. Works good for me because a plain string in the 3rd spot always sounds "twangy" to me and having a wound string in its spot softens it. Having the 10 and 13 for the highs keep it flexible enough to bend solo notes.The 59 is nice and thick to keep it in low tune. I was torn between these and the Ernie Ball 7 string slinky, but went with these because EB's lowest string is a 56.

I've been using D'Addario for 29 years now. I've attempted to use other strings, and ended up using Ernie Ball for a few years, but came back to D'Addario because I love the tone and that they really hold up and keep that bright sound I love. This is my preferred set on my Peavey Devin Townsend Signature PXD Vicious 7 String Baritone.

I have tried most other brands of strings (GHS, Ernie Ball,DR) but I keep coming back to D'Addarios. They just feel better (and last longer) for me. Once I got a Ibanez 7-string, of course I went to my favorite XL110's with an added low B string. The D'Addario 7-string set used to come with a .56 gauge for the low string, and that didn't work so well (I used to go buy a .60 and swap it out). But eventually they realized the string was too light, and they beefed up the low B to a .59, and now they work fantastic. These strings offer the best value in my opinion.

I'm a bass player and use stainless steel strings on my bass. But trying strings on my nice guitar. So I'm not experienced with strings on guitar yet and there's not much choices out there for seven sting guitars out there either. So I'm trying these out and so for I'm happy with them...

I use these strings on both my 7 strings and I love them. Have tried numerous companies but I always seem to come back to these cause no other strings feel as comfortable and are as durable as D'Addario

These have been my go to strings for sometime. They are always nice and bright with great tone and the little extra thickness on the 7th string helps add a little thickness on the tone.

Great clarity and tone. D'addario makes some great quality strings in my opinion. I have been using them for years and will continue to do so. I'd recommend these to anyone from the beginner to the professional. Thanks again d'addario!

Been using this brand of strings for about 20years now on my six strings. Never been disappointed. They were my first to go to when it came to my new 7. Happy with these. Tried others, but these just fit my style.

I am a long time 7 string player, and I can't name a time where I haven't purchased these strings. I keep one guitar in B Standard, and these strings seem to be made for that. However, my main tuning is drop A, and the .59 seems to be a little weak, even on a 26.5" guitar. If the set came with anything over .60 (.64 would be ideal), I would never question it.

I always trust D'Addario. Elixirs are too expensive, Ernie Ball makes "slinky" strings, which seem counter productive, DR break too easily, GHS feel cheap and don't last long, and everything else (Circle K, Labella) are impossible to find.

Been using these for 10 years ... my first set of strings were the Slinkys and I went through 3 sets in 2 months ... and when you 15 its kinda tough getting your folks to buy rock n roll strings. bought these and never had problems with em ever .. and now touring on a newby band budget these strings rule same ole formula as it was 10 years ago . these things will take an entire summer of sweat squeals bends uppicking and what ever crud you can put on these ... So for all you beginners still tryin to jam on your Rants Wallet ..buy these ..6 Stringers .. use all but the smallest string ... promise these will never break .. if they do your doing something wrong

Thanks to musicians friend for the fast shipping ...
Been using daddario strings for about 15 years now (maybe longer) - they are always reliable - so moving to the 7 string set was a no-brainer ...

Well I have been playing these string for years. They seem to hold up pretty well for heavy music. They record well under the microphones. Intonation is great. They stay in tune longer. They did change the bottom string from a 56 to a 59. I think this Idea is better. There is just that extra balls to the Chunck grind. People intonate your instruments with a quality repair guitar facility.
