Detail 01
Super light gauge
Lowest tension of the common sets. Easier bends and vibrato, but more prone to fretting out and buzz.

1/7
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Bulk box of ten sets of D'Addario nickel-wound electric strings in super light gauge, for players who change strings often and want to buy ahead.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging players restringing every few weeks
- Guitar techs keeping spares on hand
- Bending-heavy playing that favors low string tension
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want a single set to try
- Acoustic guitars — these are electric strings only
- Drop or baritone tunings needing heavier gauges
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
Nickel wound
Standard electric winding. Works with any magnetic pickup and feels smooth against frets.
Detail 03
10-pack
Works out to about $6.30 a set, well under single-set pricing.
Detail 04
Electric guitar strings
Steel core with magnetic windings, so the pickups read them. Not a substitute for acoustic bronze strings.
Detail 05
EXL120
D'Addario's fixed gauge code — reordering the same number gets identical tension every time, no setup drift.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Confirm your guitar is currently strung in a similar gauge, or expect a setup
- 02Switching down from heavier strings usually needs truss rod and intonation adjustment
- 03Store the unopened sets sealed and dry; open envelopes tarnish
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a Strat or Les Paul?
Yes. Standard six-string electric sets fit both tremolo and stopbar bridges. A floating tremolo will need spring adjustment if you are changing gauge.
02How long do ten sets last?
Depends entirely on play time and sweat. A weekly gigging player might use one a month; a home player could stretch this over years.
03Can I use these on an acoustic?
They will physically fit, but nickel-wound electric strings sound thin and quiet on an acoustic. Use bronze strings instead.
04Is super light too light for standard tuning?
No, super light is a common standard-tuning gauge. It gets floppy if you tune below standard.
