Description
D’Addario EXL115-3D Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings deliver a medium 11-49 gauge crafted for players who want added punch, presence and a confident feel under the fingers. Favoured by blues, jazz and rock guitarists, the EXL115 set balances bold rhythm work with smooth, controllable bends for expressive lead lines. This handy three pack keeps you well stocked for gigs, rehearsals and home practice, with the familiar XL tone that sits perfectly in a mix. Whether you prefer standard tuning or drop a semitone for extra warmth and fluidity, these strings respond with clarity and definition that encourages touch, dynamics and musicality.
Built with nickel plated steel winding over a hexagonal high carbon steel core, EXL115 strings are renowned for their bright, balanced voice and solid fundamentals. Precision winding and tight gauge tolerances give reliable intonation and tuning stability that you can feel straight away, elevating them above the typical Student 1 tier or basic starter strings. The surface feels smooth yet grippy enough for accurate picking, while the medium tension adds sustain and control without feeling stiff. D’Addario’s environmentally considerate, corrosion resistant packaging helps each set arrive factory fresh, so you hear that lively XL snap and chime from first tune up through many hours of playing.
For UK tuition and school use, this gauge is a genuine all rounder. It supports developing technique with a slightly firmer feel that improves fretting strength and picking consistency, yet still bends cleanly for expressive study pieces and band arrangements. Reliable tuning cuts down time in lessons, and the three set value keeps departments and students prepared across a term of practice, rehearsals and performances. From rock workshops to jazz ensembles, these strings offer a familiar sound and response that tutors trust, delivering dependable quality and value for everyday learning, graded exams and weekend gigs alike.
