D'Addario EXL130 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, Extra Super Light, 08-38
The D'Addario EXL130 is D'Addario's lightest gauge electric guitar string set — an Extra Super Light 08–38 designed for players who require the absolute minimum string tension and maximum ease of play. Whether you're a beginner building finger strength, a player managing hand fatigue or injury, or an advanced guitarist who wants effortless bending and the lightest possible touch, the EXL130 delivers D'Addario's signature bright, clear nickel wound tone with the lowest tension in the XL range.
Extra Super Light — Maximum Ease of Play
The 08–38 gauge is the lightest in D'Addario's XL electric guitar string lineup — producing the lowest string tension of any standard set. The reduced tension makes fretting, bending, and vibrato effortless, significantly reducing hand and finger fatigue during long playing sessions. An excellent choice for beginners who are still developing calluses and hand strength, players with hand or wrist conditions, or advanced players who want to push bending and vibrato to the extreme.
XL Nickel Wound — Bright, Clear Tone
Like all D'Addario XL strings, the EXL130 is precision wound with nickel-plated steel over a hexagonally shaped high-carbon steel core — producing D'Addario's signature bright, clear tone with excellent intonation and long-lasting performance. The hex core ensures consistent wrap wire tension along the full length of the string for even tone and feel from set to set.
Environmentally Friendly Packaging
Each set comes in D'Addario's corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly packaging — keeping strings fresh until the moment you open them, regardless of how long they've been in storage.
