Description
D’Addario EXL120-3D Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are a Super Light 09-42 set supplied as a money saving three pack, ideal for players who like a fast, slinky feel and a bright, punchy voice. Whether you are learning lead lines, recording quick runs in the studio or chasing fluid bends on stage, these strings keep the effort low and the expression high. The 09-42 gauge responds instantly under the fingers, making vibrato and legato come naturally while keeping chords clear and articulate. With three complete sets in the box, you stay prepared for gigs, lessons and everyday practice without last minute scrambles for spares.
Built around D’Addario’s acclaimed XL Nickel formula, EXL120 pairs nickel plated steel windings with a precision made hex shaped steel core for reliable tuning, clean intonation and that classic, harmonically rich snap. The roundwound surface gives a smooth, comfortable glide across the frets with enough grip to dig in when you need attack. Compared with no name starter strings, these deliver better consistency from set to set, stronger strand integrity at the ball end and a more even response across all six strings. The result is a lively, balanced tone that cuts through effects and backlines while staying musical at moderate volumes.
Perfect for UK tuition and school setups, the light tension helps developing players build technique without excessive finger strain, encouraging longer, more productive practice sessions. Tutors appreciate the clear, predictable tone for ear training, while the 09-42 sizing suits most standard scale electric guitars found in classrooms and home studios. The practical three pack makes routine string changes affordable and ensures you always have a fresh set to hand. Sealed packaging keeps each set ready for action until the moment you fit it, offering dependable performance for rock, pop, indie and worship styles on everything from S style instruments to single cut models.
