https://boutique.boiteamusique.ca/web/image/product.template/55635/image_1920?unique=0f20bd5

The EXL145 is a popular choice for rock and metal styles that require heavier gauge strings. The unwound B string offers greater flexibility than traditional 12-gauge electric guitar strings. This set is optimized for lower-than-standard tunings! The strings are heavier gauge with an unwound third (G) string, perfect for lower-than-standard tunings.

Immerse yourself in a powerful and precise sound with this set of strings. The third string (G) is made of plain steel, offering increased playing flexibility for bends and improved responsiveness. The high-carbon steel (hexagonal) core with nickel-plated steel windings, a round-wound design, promotes a crisp attack and longer sustain.
