    5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Strings !
    Reviewed in the United States on December 7, 2024
    These 09/42 D'Addario Guitar strings are a great addition to my style of playing.
    The gauge is just right for those string bends on soulful leads.
    They stay in tune when you stretch them out.
    They last a long time depending how much you play and clean afterwards with a microfiber cloth.
    You might like a different gauge depending on how you play but these are just right for me.
    The price is much better than the guitar shops in town.
    I'll purchase again !

    5.0 out of 5 stars They don't feel or sound like coated strings at all
    Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022
    If I had the money I'd always buy these. Unlike other coated strings these feel totally natural and last a long time. Great for people like me with sweaty hands. If I can't get my hands on these then I go for the NYXL ones. These are top tier and I will never switch back to Ernie Ball.

    Edit: I'm now on my third pack and I'm never going back. I wish there were an option for subscribe and save like there are for the 9-42 NYXL strings but oh well. I get these about once every 3 to 4 months just for the one guitar I use these on. I like using these on my Jazzmaster. Despite it's scale length being the same as all other Fender guitars like the Strat the string still has to travel further from the bridge to peg and the high E is prone to breakage.

    4.0 out of 5 stars High quality strings, Won't be replacing NYXL for me
    Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2020
    The strings feel and sound great. They don't feel like coated strings, even though they technically are. I would highly recommend these on guitars that aren't your main guitar, as they will last a long time without needing to change the strings. When the strings get old they start to feel plastic and rattle, but they don't quite corrode like typical strings would, and they don't start to sound noticeably dull, but also not as bright as when the guitar is strung. These last around twice as long as normal strings, and can be pushed for longer if you really want to. These strings are great, but the NYXL's sound and play better to me, and have more gauge options. as far as I can tell, the heaviest the XT's get is a 52, which is fine if you don't plan to go below drop C, but NYXL has options that go all the way down to a 60, and also has options for 7 and 8 string guitars. I wish the XT's had these options. The XT's are great for what they are though, and I would highly recommend them if they meet your use case

    Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2024
    After finding out my nephew inherited my old guitar, I decided it was time to put some new strings on it. These strings brought the guitar back to life and made it sound great. Not to mention tuning was a lot easier too. Can't say for sure on longevity but I have no doubt they will last as long as any of the other strings I purchased for my own guitar.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Long lasting, sound & play great
    Reviewed in the United States on December 6, 2023
    I have three “main players”….play 4 to 5 days per week, 2 hours per day. I leave them out on a rack prolly 20 days a month. I just received my 3-pack of 9-46’s that are automatically sent every 3 months. Yes these sound and play great till about the last week, so 3 months per set pretty damn good. I play blues and rock. LP Classic, Tele Deluxe & PRS Custom 24. Not currently gigging.
