Precision Engineering for Unrivaled Performance

Each EXL120 string features precision-wound nickel-plated steel over a hexagonal high-carbon steel core. The hex core shape locks the wrap wire in place across its entire length, producing razor-sharp intonation and remarkable durability under heavy strumming or aggressive vibrato.

Flexible Feel, Timeless Tone

The Super Light .009–.042 tension profile drastically reduces finger fatigue, making complex chord voicings and wide pitch bends smooth and fluid. From rock and pop to blues and metal, EXL120 strings provide the magnetic output needed to make your pickups sing.
