D’Addario EXL158 Light Baritone Electric Guitar Strings

D’Addario EXL158 Light Baritone Electric Guitar Strings are specially designed for modern baritone electric guitars. This 13-62 gauge set opens up a world of possibilities. The nickel-plated steel wrap over a high-carbon steel core produces a bright, balanced tone that handles everything from jazz to metal.

Optimized for Down-Tuning and Baritone Scales

Created in close collaboration with leading guitar makers, the EXL158 set is calibrated for baritone guitars and standard electrics tuned down to B or C. The lighter 13-62 gauge gives baritone players a comfortable feel with clear, ringing tone. For standard guitars, this set enables experimenting with lower tunings without a loss of playability.

Versatile Tone for Any Genre

D’Addario’s XL strings are revered for their versatility and the EXL158 set is no exception. The nickel-plated steel wrap wire produces a bright tone with crisp highs, punchy mids and controlled lows that suits any musical style. From hard rock to jazz, blues to progressive metal, this set handles it all with dynamic tone that cuts through the mix.

Built to Last

D’Addario is dedicated to quality and the EXL158 set is built to withstand the demands of performance and practice. The high-carbon steel core provides a stable base for the nickel-plated steel wrap wire. This combination produces strings that hold tune and tone for a long lifespan. For baritone players and musicians experimenting with lower tunings, this durability means fewer string changes and more time playing.
