D'AddarioEXL120 Nickel Super Light Electric Guitar Strings Single-Pack
1/8
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single set of nickel-wound super light electric strings from D'Addario. For players who want low tension and easy bending at the lowest price.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who bend a lot and want minimal finger effort
- Restringing a standard-tuned electric guitar in E
- Keeping a cheap spare set in the case
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Drop or low tunings, where light strings go floppy
- Acoustic guitars — these are wound for magnetic pickups
- Players wanting stiffer feel under a heavy pick attack
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Nickel wound
Nickel-plated wrap over steel core. Standard electric string material, and it responds to magnetic pickups.
Detail 03
Single-pack
One set only, enough for one six-string guitar. No spares if you break a string mid-session.
Detail 04
Electric guitar strings
Steel core is required for pickups to sense the vibration. Putting these on an acoustic gives a thin, weak sound.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01One set of six strings only — no picks, tools, or winder
- 02Switching gauges changes neck relief; a truss rod tweak may be needed
- 03Check your guitar's ball-end compatibility if it uses a locking tremolo
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What gauges are in this set?
It's D'Addario's super light EXL120 set — the lightest of their standard nickel-wound electric gauges. Check the pack for the exact string-by-string measurements.
02Can I use these on an acoustic guitar?
No. These are wound for electric pickups. On an acoustic they'll sound thin and quiet compared to bronze strings.
03How many sets do I get?
One. This is a single-pack, so you get six strings — enough to restring one guitar once.
04Will these fit a Floyd Rose or locking tremolo?
They're standard ball-end strings. Most locking systems require clipping the ball ends off before installing, which works fine with these.
