D'Addario EXL125-3D Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, Super Light Top/Regular Bottom, 9-42, 3 Sets

I’ve used D’Addario strings for years, and the EXL125-3D set continues to be one of the best options out there for electric guitar players. This 3-pack is excellent value, especially if you go through strings regularly like I do.The hybrid gauge (9-46) gives the perfect balance: the lighter top strings make bending easy and expressive, while the heavier bottom strings provide solid rhythm tones with plenty of punch. The tone is bright, but not harsh, and they settle in quickly after the first stretch — staying in tune reliably even with aggressive playing.The nickel wound design gives a smooth, comfortable feel under the fingers and a classic, versatile sound that works well across multiple styles — from rock to blues to indie. Plus, each set is individually sealed inside the main packaging to keep them fresh, which is a big plus if you’re not using all three sets at once.Overall, D’Addario remains my go-to brand for a reason: consistent quality, great tone, and excellent durability. Highly recommend these for anyone looking for a dependable string upgrade.

Always my go to for strings, they’re super bright and great sounding, perfect thickness and bend too.

Fantastic strings, conveniently delivered. I find D'Addario to be miles better then the other big name competitors. EB's tend to tarnish really quickly for me (maybe something to do with my sweat composition) but these things last forever.

These are budget strings but, overall, are very decent indeed.I initially had a problem which I contacted D'Addario about (via their website) and this was solved very quickly. and painlessly. Really great customer support! EDIT - still waiting on the promised replacements after 2 weeks, but hopeful!

These are fantastic strings, i was a little worried about going up from 10's but really pleasantly surprised l, they feel much better for me.Strings and gauge is subjective but for me these are perfect! I won't be changing

I have been using D'Addario strings for electric guitar from early 1990s. I have found them to be the best value for money of all manufacturers that I have tried.They stay break-in relatively quickly, stay in-tune, intonation is consistent between sets, never rust, sound consistent for life of string, last longest of any string I have tried, never snap during tuning until end of life.

Great strings

Nice bright sound.Long lasting.Easy to install..Highly recommend.
