After 25 years of playing, I can surely say that these are my favorite strings ever!

I'm not very faithful when it comes to strings. I've used several brands and gauges, alternatively. After 25 years, I can say it: these (and the EPN115, which are very close) are by far my favorites. This is not something that you realize when you play them on a day-to-day basis but opt for anything else for a few months and when you finally get back to D'Addario, you really feel the difference. These strings are reliable, they sound good from day 1 (not shiny bright like some competing brand I will not mention). They never break (and by NEVER I mean that I've never broken one during all these years). And they're cheap. In fact, I feel sorry for D'Addario but they have plenty of high-end strings that they advertise as having more durability and playability but these, the cheapest strings in their line, are already so satisfying that I see no opportunity for an upgrade. Also, what I like about the 11-49 is that they work for all my guitars: they're as good on my 21 frets Fender, 22 frets Gibson or 24 frets Cort, and they're as good whether I use a EADGBE or a DADGAD tuning.

The best strings for electric guitar I've tried so far.

I'm using these strings for over a year now and they didn't show any bad sides. They stay in tune very well, which is a thing I very much appreciate, because that way I can pick up the guitar just for a really quick few chords or something and I don't need to worry that it sounds horrible. They keep their tone very well and it's not a too big fading in tone between new and used string. They offer a good feeling, which is very important. I find when you are using the guitar a lot, you don't want to be unhappy with the feeling the string gives you. You can fingerpick them as well what makes you feel a little like Mark Knopfler ;)

A very cool side-effect of using these. You can redeem points on D'Addario's player's circle.

Bright, durable and hold the tension well

I'm a huge Ernie Ball lover, but I must say this is durable strings with bright glass tone and they keep the guitar in tune very well. Perfect for both electric and acoustic guitars in E-flat

Great

These are actually really good for the price. They sound good too. I like these

EXCELLENT STRINGS

You can’t go wrong with D’Addario strings. I used to play with Dean Markleys but I found those breaking too easily. I play punk rock and these survive all the constant fast downstrokes. Highly recommended.

Best Strings

These are what are on all my electrics. I mean, I'm not sure what you can say about this, other than they're amazing strings. They have a great sound, they feel great to play on them, they don't die for AGES... And as a bass player mostly, these let me do my bends on a guitar without fear of a break.

Buzz

I've been using Ernie Ball 2223 on my Les Paul Studio and wanted to try EXL115. The low E started to buzz a lot. I thought it was due to the gauge change (.9 to .11). I thought it needed some adjustments on the bridge, truss rod... But before trying that, I removed the strings and restring my guitar with Ernie Ball 2720 (also .11). Where is the buzz?! Gone! And more: it nailed every string tune. Maybe someday I will try EXL 115 againg, but any time soon. Now my favorite strings are Ernie Ball 2223 and Ernie Ball 2720. I know not setting up the guitar when changing the string gauge is an illusion. But that was my experience.

Good

I use it on my les paul with tuning half step down or C or drop D or C.

My strings of choice

These are one of the sets I use when I play. Except I customized this set by adding a .42 for the A-string and .60 for the E. It gives me a much more beefy sound since I have a heavy_pick_hand. Dave Grohl uses this exact set that's why I use it also. \m/

Good.

Well every string is good and unique in its own way. this is not a fit for me mainly because I play metal music but it ain't a bad string.
