Your favorite D'Addario Strings

[DD Gunz]

That's their best qualities that keeps D'Addarios the best selling strings in the world. I happen to like EXL-170BTs best of the XL series. Also the D'Addario made Fenders are excellent too. I have moved on to the new GHS Balanced Nickels.

I also find the Fenders to be great and honestly go back and forth based on what is cheaper at the time. I change strings weekly, so cost is of importance to me.

Been meaning to give the GHS a go as well.

I don't always play rounds but when I do, they're EXL 170's. I prefer the thicker 160s but the finger noise I get from those are substantially greater than the 170s.

Chromes -81's were my go-to string for years, until I found Fender's version, the 9050 ML. I prefer the thicker G string, and they were cheaper when I originally bought them a few years back.

I like Fender 7250s better than XL160s. GHS are more expensive, but sound better to me. I change strings every three months. Flats I put on once and never change.

I love the .055 G in the Fender 9050M set along with the .090 A. Righteous.
