D’Addario EXL145 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings

D’Addario’s EXL145 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are designed for players seeking heavier gauges with enhanced flexibility. This set includes gauges .012, .016, .020 (plain steel), .032, .042, and .054, featuring a plain steel 3rd/G string for greater bending capability compared to traditional wound 3rd strings. Precision wound with nickel-plated steel onto a high-carbon steel hex core, these strings offer a long-lasting, bright tone with excellent intonation. The EXL145 set is popular among rock and metal guitarists who require heavier gauges for increased tension and sustain, and it’s optimized for down tuning. Made in the USA at D’Addario’s New York production facility, these strings ensure the highest quality and performance.
