D'Addario XL Nickel EXL110BT Electric Guitar Strings, Balanced 10-46

Guitar used: Yamaha FG830 For what these say they do, they do well. I really love the bend ability of these strings, they produce a bit stringy higher tone. Very similar to putting electric strings on an acoustic. If you were plugged in and use an EQ to deepen it a bit these would be great. Overall good strings at a good price.

My "GO TO:" set of strings. Anytime any where, these strings will not disappoint. s. Quality is consistent and tone is good on just about every guitar. Price is right also.

best strings i have used so far, strong and stay in tune

didn’t use them yet, but I know they will be good.

Wanted to try ernie ball strings, and so I did... they rusted over after two days and NOT ONCE stayed in tune for an entire 30 mintues (lol). Of course, I came back to D'Addario and I can't even fathom how ernie ball actually sells anything. These strings sound better, play better, and feel better. Don't waste your money and DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. Find the strings that suit your needs that D'Addario offers and go with those. Don't go with some ambiguous "wonder willy silly slinky super wobbly wiggly woo (extra scrungle)" ernie ball garbage.

Went from a pair of DR Blues which I had tuning instability with and the D string frayed like crazy with under 2 months of occasional play. After switching to these this guitar stays in tune like a champ. After first setup and tuning I played it the next day about 12 hours later and every string was almost perfectly in tune. It was kinda eerie as before my guitar would never stay in tune that long with the DR Blues 10s. Tone: Tone is on the bright side. Not too bright but definitely bright. Tone is subjective but it was even and I got good harmonics out of it. Feel and Playability: Like Butta. All I can say. The balanced tension is really really really nice. I can't stress that enough. If you are the kind of guitar player that likes easier bends on the 3,2nd and 1st strings then you will love this set. Im also curious if the balanced tension is lending itself to better tuning stability. I'm not sure but it is something to think about. Overall: These strings are great so far. It's too soon to talk about durability since I've only had them for like 2 days but so far I'm really impressed. The 7 dollar pack of DR Blues ended up just disintegrating on me in less than 2 months. Try D’Addario I don't think you'll be disappointed in fact I think you'll walk away ashamed of yourself that you didn't try them before. And YES strings can make a huge difference in the setup, feel and tuning stability of your guitar. Not all strings are created equal. I gave stability a 4 stars and will update to 5 stars after about a week or so of playing if it continues on the track its on. ****UPDATE 1-10-20***** these strings still kick ass and I play anywhere from 1-2 hours a day about 4-5 days a week. They've stayed in tune like champions with my locking tuners. No signs of wear other than than fact they are not as shiny as when I got them new. I do wipe the down every now and then though. For the price these are the strings to get and on a locking trem 25.5 scale guitar they play like butter. Will be my go to strings.

Maybe the best strings out there
