D'Addario Pure Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - Ideal for Blues, Jazz, and Rock - Gauge 11-49

T. Fout: In my experience the D’Addario XL string sets are the best value for tone, durability, and playability. These will suit almost any situation and perform at a high level.

C. Whitaker: If you play acoustic guitar and like Martin's "Monel" strings -- the Tony Rice alloy, for lack of a better way of describing it... these should please you, and they're a bit less expensive, usually. Good also for an ES-125 that I have and play. These amplify very well with the P90. I've also had fairly good results with an Ibanez GB jazz box, a Super 58, set-in humbucker on that guitar.

These are of average life span. Stay in tune well. Intonate very well up the neck.

Here's my mnemonic for D'Addario's color-code:

Some = silver (1st string)
People = purple
Got = green
Big = black
Red = red
Balls = brass (6th string)

Ocean: I was this close to breaking up with my electric guitar and settling down with my trusty steel string and acoustic nylon. It's like choosing between a wild bonfire and a cozy campfire - both have their charms, but the sound of the electric was like a siren song, luring me back with promises of untamed power and a shocking good time.
I've got this ginormous Johnson Millennium amp that's basically a behemoth for my tossed clothes. It has its own troubles. It's like the amp and the guitar were having a never-ending battle of "who can sound the most wrong." I put on some new strings and gave them a little tap - oh boy, zero sustain, like a deflated balloon trying to hold a note. Took my guitar to the repair shop to get a relaxing massage in hopes of coaxing it to life. Changed the jack and got a new cord. Wasn't that thrilled with the sound, but hey, I didn't want to ruffle the feathers of Mr. Grumpy Pants the repair guy.
Got it home. Weak sound. Went on guitar forums to ask questions about sound. People told me "yeah, you just got a cheap electric guitar." Well, I don't think $900 is cheap but what do I know. And it kinda hurt my feelings. So I decided to buy a new amp, the...

Aaron: My guitar is an ESP with 22 frets. Using a drop C, B, or A tuning can be an extra challenge with a short neck. Ive used this brand of strings before, but not the pure nickel Jazz set. Im using the guitar for metal and grunge. Not sure the pure nickel tone matches up as well in distortion as the normal NXYL sets for drop C.

Before, I used a drop C set and mixed and matched to get the string thicknesses you see in this nickel pack. So, when it was time to re string, i found this pure nickel pack had all the string gauges I picked out before but in a jazz nickel set. Why not? It wont rust and the tone will be a bit brighter. Well.......

I have a normal NXYL 64 gauge string for the bottom. The tension on these strings for drop B is much tighter than the NXYL series. It almost seemed a bit too tight at drop B on a 22 fret but its not. What it means is that drop A will have more tension than before which is good. Im not sure though, about drop C on this ESP 22 fret. Seems like the tension would be too high. Anyway, the chunkiness of chugging has dropped from the non Pure nickel strings. I can adjust the amp and EQ and knobs and VST's but its clear that the tone of the...
