Very good string, definitely not the best Probably worth the money if you get them for about 10 bucks a set. Been playing since 1982 tried just about every brand and style of string for an electric these are good but they're not the best. Their NYXLs are actually better in my opinion The best string out there is the m steels from Ernie Ball. I would rank these in the top five They're definitely good strings and worth the money if you can get them for 12 or less. You can't go wrong with these They're pretty damn good.....

These 09/42 D'Addario Guitar strings are a great addition to my style of playing.The gauge is just right for those string bends on soulful leads.They stay in tune when you stretch them out.They last a long time depending how much you play and clean afterwards with a microfiber cloth.You might like a different gauge depending on how you play but these are just right for me.The price is much better than the guitar shops in town.I'll purchase again !

If I had the money I'd always buy these. Unlike other coated strings these feel totally natural and last a long time. Great for people like me with sweaty hands. If I can't get my hands on these then I go for the NYXL ones. These are top tier and I will never switch back to Ernie Ball.Edit: I'm now on my third pack and I'm never going back. I wish there were an option for subscribe and save like there are for the 9-42 NYXL strings but oh well. I get these about once every 3 to 4 months just for the one guitar I use these on. I like using these on my Jazzmaster. Despite it's scale length being the same as all other Fender guitars like the Strat the string still has to travel further from the bridge to peg and the high E is prone to breakage.

The strings feel and sound great. They don't feel like coated strings, even though they technically are. I would highly recommend these on guitars that aren't your main guitar, as they will last a long time without needing to change the strings. When the strings get old they start to feel plastic and rattle, but they don't quite corrode like typical strings would, and they don't start to sound noticeably dull, but also not as bright as when the guitar is strung. These last around twice as long as normal strings, and can be pushed for longer if you really want to. These strings are great, but the NYXL's sound and play better to me, and have more gauge options. as far as I can tell, the heaviest the XT's get is a 52, which is fine if you don't plan to go below drop C, but NYXL has options that go all the way down to a 60, and also has options for 7 and 8 string guitars. I wish the XT's had these options. The XT's are great for what they are though, and I would highly recommend them if they meet your use case

always happy with D’Addario Strings.used this with PRS SE Custom 24, no problem. Didnt have to do anything with the stock nut.It definitely feels tighter than 10s.

Haven't had the chance to install them on my guitar yet but I'm sure they're going to work out just fine

ダダリオの音が好きなのですが普通のダダリオ弦の寿命が短すぎてエリクサーの音がしっくりこない私にはベストな弦です。0946はいいとこ取りなバランスですが0942から張り替えた場合は調整必須です。

I purchased the XTE0942 almost 3months ago and up to now its still going strong. I have to commend on the durability of the strings (considering the usage is more than twice on a weekly basis). No visible rust so far and the pitch of the string has a good mellow tune to it. Ideal for personal sounds or at a crowd. I would definitely but this product again. Highly recommended.
