D'Addario Electric Guitar Environmental XL Super Lite Plus, .0095 - .044, EXL120PLUSstar rating 5EdSeptember 11, 2011I recently got a telecaster- I usually use 10s for standard tuning, 11s on a down tuned strat and a Gibson scale guitar. Given the extra scale length of the tele, I didn't want to go to 10s and lose the bendability close to the nut, but I couldn't make peace with the thin-as-a-thread .009s. Figured I'd give these a shot, and I'm thrilled with them. You wouldn't think the small increments make a difference, but they do! Next I'm going to try these on a 25" scale Yamaha I've got that 10s always felt a little stiff on. This 1/2 gauge thing is liberating! If you think these could be for you, they probably are. Give 'em a try. I don't think you'll regret it.

They have the best tone and playability I have found for jazz on archtops. If you haven't' tried these you have to. You'll be hooked.

I always thought there were only 2 kinds of strings...one that sounds good, and one that's easy on the hands. These strings accomplish both. They sound great with country, blues, and classic rock. I wish I could buy them in bulk (like 3-packs or 10-packs).

They go on all of my 25.5 scale guitars. (I use XL 110's on the Gibson and Epiphone.) They allow good bending but don't kill your hands. I am going to experiment with XL 125's on a "Esquire Clone" I'm putting together. Lot's of good choices of great strings.

D'Addario Electric Guitar Environmental XL Super Lite Plus, .0095 - .044, EXL120PLUSstar rating 5Jeff AbbeyFebruary 20, 2010These have become my "go to" strings for almost all of my guitars. I've always found an .009 set to be a little light in the tone and the ability to stay in tune. On the other hand, a .010 was a little stiff and I couldn't feel at ease with them. Of course, split the difference and there's a lot to like about these strings. Highly recommended!
