Strings designed for an 8-string electric guitar. EXL120-8 starts with D'Addrio's popular EXL120-7 set and adds a wound 065 (tuned to F#) to create a super light gauge set optimized for 8-string electric guitars. This combination delivers powerful low end for heavy chording and flexible plain steel strings for bending. Round wound with nickelplated steel for distinctive bright tone. Environmentally friendly, corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh. They are precision wound with nickelplated steel onto a carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel core. Made in the U.S.A.
