Detail 01
Baritone set
Thicker than a standard electric set so the low tuning still holds tension across a longer scale.

D'AddarioEXL158 Light Baritone Electric Guitar Strings
1/9
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Light-gauge string set made for baritone electric guitars, where a standard set would go slack over the longer scale.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Baritone electrics tuned down to B or A
- Extended-scale guitars that feel floppy with regular strings
- Restringing a baritone without guessing at gauges
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Standard-scale electrics, where these are far too heavy
- Players wanting maximum tension for very low tunings
- Anyone hoping to string a bass with them
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
Light for a baritone
The easier end of the baritone range. Less fight under the fingers, less tension for very low tunings.
Detail 03
Electric, not acoustic
Magnetic-pickup construction. These are made to drive electric pickups, not project acoustically.
Detail 04
Heavy low strings
Nut slots and bridge saddles cut for a standard set won't accept them without filing.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nut slots and saddle intonation usually need adjusting when switching baritone sets
- 02Single set, not a multi-pack
- 03Too heavy for a standard 25.5-inch scale guitar in standard tuning
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will these fit a normal electric guitar?
Not well. They're gauged for baritone scale and low tuning. On a standard-scale guitar in standard tuning the tension would be very high and the nut slots too narrow.
02What tuning are these meant for?
Baritone tunings below standard, typically B or A. The heavier gauges keep tension usable when a standard set would feel slack.
03Do I need a setup after installing these?
Usually yes if you're changing gauge. Expect truss rod, intonation, and possibly nut slot work.
04How do these differ from a regular light set?
Same idea, thicker strings. Light here means light for a baritone, which is still considerably heavier than a standard-scale light set.
