Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

As advertised, they are bright and warm. Not too bright, not too dark. Lengthwise they are good too.

Exl125's are perfect for metal/rock/jazz and detuned tunings like drop c. These strings are great if you want strings that stay in tune and work well with a capo. Using the wound 3rd string greatly improves overall intonation.

Make sure to stretch your stings after installing to maximize being in tune. They hold up well, have good tone that lasts, and retain a good feel for a long time.

Cons

The acoustics on the mitchell are horrendous. It keeps snapping while detuning. If they don't even last through tuning, what use are they.

The strings are all a month old from the same guitar center. All the strings are jumbled together. Will never buy strings from amazon again.

D'adarrio might cost a few bucks more than most of their competitors, but you're getting quality and a sound that will make you... Read More

Just as good as any of the others at the price point.

Dean markley cryogenic treated are my favorite, however, i will always be a loyal d'addario customer.
