D'Addario EXL148, C-tuning (12-60)

D'Addario EXL148 is a heavy-gauge electric guitar string set designed for lower tunings, especially C tuning. With a powerful 12–60 gauge range, this set delivers increased tension, strong low-end response, and excellent tuning stability when playing heavy riffs, modern metal, doom, stoner rock, or any style that needs a tight and controlled low register. Made with D'Addario’s classic nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a high-carbon steel core, EXL148 strings provide a bright, balanced tone with clear attack and reliable sustain. The heavier bottom strings keep the sound focused and defined, even with high-gain distortion, while the plain strings remain responsive for bends and expressive lead playing. A great choice for players who tune down but still want a familiar feel, stable intonation, and the proven tone of D'Addario XL strings. Features: Gauge: 12–16–20p–34–46–60 Optimized for C tuning Nickel-plated steel for bright, balanced tone Heavy gauge for improved tension in low tunings Strong low-end response and clear articulation Suitable for rock, metal, doom, stoner, and other heavy styles Made in the USA
