Detail 01
Medium gauge
Thicker than a standard light set. More tension under the hand, steadier tuning when you dig in, harder to bend.

D'AddarioEXL115 Medium Gauge Guitar Strings Single-Pack
1/9
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A single set of medium gauge D'Addario electric guitar strings. For players who want more tension and grip than a light set gives.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Heavy pick attack where light strings feel loose
- Lowered tunings that need extra tension to stay tight
- Rhythm players who fret hard and want stability
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who bend often — heavier strings take more finger strength
- Beginners still building fingertip calluses
- Acoustic guitars, which need bronze wound strings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Electric guitar strings
Steel core so magnetic pickups can read them. These won't project properly on an acoustic.
Detail 03
Single-pack
One set of six. Break a string at a gig and you're out unless you keep a backup.
Detail 04
Heavier tension
Pulls the neck forward more than a light set. Expect a setup check after switching from thinner strings.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Six strings only — no tools, picks, or winder included
- 02Going heavier usually needs a truss rod and intonation adjustment
- 03Thicker strings may not fit older nut slots without filing
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit through my tuner posts and nut?
Usually yes on a standard electric. If you're jumping up several gauges, the low strings can bind in tight nut slots and need filing.
02Are these good for drop tuning?
The extra tension helps. Dropping pitch loosens strings, so a heavier set stays tighter and more playable than a light one.
03How many sets come in the pack?
One. This is a single-pack with six strings, enough to restring one guitar.
04Can I use these on an acoustic?
No. These are electric strings with a steel core. Acoustics need bronze wound strings to sound full unamplified.
