As always superior quality delivered from D'Addario that's why they are the only strings I have been using for over 40+ years of playing professionally.

These strings met my expectations. Very effective in reducing 3rd string dominance in single coil pickups w/o adjustable pole pieces. Versatile. Stay in tune well. It's great to have a resource like JustStrings to obtain exactly what I want. Thanks

I like the overall feel and sound of the string but they die VERY quickly.

Excellent strings. I use them on most of my electrics.

I swapped the EXLs for the Vintage Reissues on my Les Paul Trad last night. I had expected them to be a bit brighter, but wow - big difference in general. At 1st I didn't like them - the string balance was off (B string was louder and the bass E was booming), and I thought the low end was just a bit muddy too. Overall it sounded a bit...dirtier, like adding more gain w/o adding much volume. After tweaking the PUPs & pole screws, and tweaking the EQ settings a bit, the tone really started to grow on me. It has a creamy growl w/o being too dark. What I imagine a vintage LP would sound like! No big diff using the wound G string, though I like it cause it seems I always have some issue with my G strings (chiming, ringing, etc). Made sure again this AM, still sounds great! Ordering more right now.
