Cheaper here than most places. As always with D'addario the sound, tone, tuning and feel are always great. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant! *by R***1 on 24 August 2013* These strings add a clean cut sound for lower tunings, wouldn't say that they'll go any higher than drop c, otherwise you'll end up doing more damage than good, I use drop B and A tunings. Drop B sounds the most comfortable though. As like all other d'addario strings they last a good while especially with good string cleaners and don't lose their tone until the very end. I use ESP/LTD's, Schecter's, Jackson's and you will be pretty shocked at how much the right string type and gauge makes a difference. Only down side is no plectrum points, only usually find those on their more commercial packets. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL148 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 6 String Guitars - 12-60 Extra Heavy - Ernie Ball Mammoth Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 12-62 Gauge (P02214) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/49195032-xl-nickel-exl148-electric-guitar-strings-extra-heavy-12-60](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/49195032-xl-nickel-exl148-electric-guitar-strings-extra-heavy-12-60) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
