The best string for metal,it won't sound flappy,its tight,even though if its minimised for d tuning,for me this is the best gauge for c standard tuning.

Utilizo este calibre tanto para DropD como DropC y van perfectas.

ive been playing on and off for 2 years usually using different strings and since ive gotten these they have been the best strings ive had. they have really good durability and sound. ive played a few slipknot songs the day i gpt them and i love them

I go way back with this brand. I have a lot of guitars with different tunings and gauges, but the EXL117 set works best on my main LP-style guitar. It's a half-step down and I occasionally drop the low string another full step.I also use this set on a 25.5" scale guitar tuned a full-step down.Since I play a lot of heavy rock & some metal, I really need low strings with some thickness and tension to them, obviously more so tuning down, especially the low E. That thicker gauge makes such a huge difference in sound, and the tuning helps balance out the extra strain. And I don't like wound G strings so that's a plus with the EXL117s. It's almost like this set was custom-built for me.Of course this isn't the only good string brand--I have other guitars with GHS, Ernie Ball, and other D'Addario sets depending--but to me the EXL117 is just the perfect set for my primary two guitars.I know there are tons of other options out there and I've experimented with some of them, but there's really no reason for me to fix what isn't broken. I pop these on and they break-in relatively quickly (about an hour for me) and are recording-quality for a good while. A person could go chasing after magical gear forever with all of the options nowadays but if you can't do it with one of the major sets, you can't do it.

I've used Er I ball all my life and like many once I tried these I will make the switch and buy d'addario from bow on. Really nice feel to these ones and last longer.
