D'Addario EXL117 Medium Top/Heavy Bottom (11-56)

EXL117 is an extreme hybrid set, optimally designed for tuning guitars down a whole step to D while maintaining a comfortable playing tension like that of a "light" gauge set.

XL Nickel Wound, D'Addario's most popular electric guitar strings, are precision wound with nickel-plated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. The result, strings with long-lasting, distinctive bright tones and excellent intonation, is ideal for the widest variety of guitars and musical styles.
