D'Addario EXL158 XL Nickel Wound Baritone Electric Guitar Strings Light 13-62
D'Addario EXL158 XL Nickel Wound Baritone Electric Guitar Strings — Light 13-62
Strings Built for Low Tunings
The D'Addario EXL158 set is engineered for modern short-scale baritone electric guitars - and equally at home on a standard-scale guitar tuned down to B, A, or below. The heavier gauges keep tension manageable in low tunings, while the bright XL Nickel formulation cuts through dense low-end frequencies.
Articulate Low End
XL Nickel strings are wound on a hexagonal, high-carbon steel core for consistent intonation and grip between the wrap and core - critical when string tension is lower than a standard set. The wrap wire is precision-wound nickel-plated steel for a long-lasting, distinctively bright tone.
Construction
- Core: Hexagonal high-carbon steel for grip and intonation.
- Wrap: Nickel-plated steel, round wound.
- Tone Profile: Bright, articulate, classic XL voice.
- Best Match: Short-scale baritone guitars and downtuned 6-strings.
