User questions & answers

Question:	I'm looking for extra strings for my new Les Paul Special II. I'm buing guitar from amazon, it costs $149. Are this strings compatible
Answer:	Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway.
Question:	what is the difference between slinky and non slinky
Answer:	Slinky is just a line of strings from Ernie Ball, the "Slinkier" they are the thinner they are, regular Slinky are 10 gauge strings, super slinky are 9s, and "Not Even Slinky" strings are 12s (the number represents the gauge of the lightest string in the set).
Question:	Do all 6 strings come in the "1 pack
Answer:	All 6 of the strings are in the pack, they just put each string into its own paper envelope for easy identification. The ball-ends aren't color-coded like D'addario. Hope this helps. :)
Question:	Why are these ranked #1 in the category "Fishing
Answer:	Put a hook on one end. Unless your record bass has a floyd rose on it's back, and it pulls back too hard, you'll catch it!

That's right, this is the one everyone's been talking about. It's simply amazing what a little -320º liquid nitrogen can do to a guitar string. If I were you, I'd put on a set and see what all the noise is about. Twice the tone and twice the life.

Dean Markley 2552 - Light

By now you probably know that Dean Markley's ingenious Blue Steel strings are cryogenically frozen with a blast of liquid nitrogen. But why would we do such a thing? By freezing our strings down to -320 degree Fahrenheit, we tighten the molecules, minimizing microscopic gaps. This process removes transient frequencies that produce harsh highs and muddy lows, creating a more consistent string, with true tone and longer life. A method to our madness!

Made of 8 percent nickel-plated steel outer wrap on tinned Mandolin wire hex-core, Blue Steel strings have been top-sellers for years and are used by pros worldwide. Once you try Blue Steel strings you’ll be hooked. They feel great, ring true, are durable and long-lasting, and they just plain sound good.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it comes with a bag
Answer:	Actually this guitar seems best suited for Metal! The pickups are really clean when using a Metal pedal
Question:	is this guitar good for metal music
Answer:	I don't think it does unless otherwise stated by the seller. I bought mine online. I came without a strap.
Question:	Does this guitar come with a strap
Answer:	Tremolo's are often referred to as wawah bars, since they will induce a wawah into an existing sound. They are notorious for throwing a guitar out of tune. For the money this is a very good guitar. Even the tremolo is not bad. If you are able to spend another $50.00 you can get a locking tremolo that will help hold the guitars tune. You can also spend $10.00 and buy a good Snark tuner, which can stay attached to the head of the guitar. With the Snark you can retune your guitar in less than a minute.
Question:	does it have a tremolo to help keep it in tune
Answer:	There are several upbeat songs but none are commercial tunes (top 40)

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the Scale-length of this guitar
Answer:	As far as I can tell, it is based on the scale lenth of a Gibson 335, so either that or a Les Paul. Definitely not the longer Strat scale length.
Question:	What neck radius is this guitar
Answer:	Fretboard radius is 16" (406 mm). All specs can be found at the Dean website
Question:	I fret with my left and strum with my right is this the guitar for me
Answer:	Sounds like that is how right handed players play, which is how guitars are designed for. The sting spacing is closer than often is the case for 12 strings, so it is only a slight adjustment in terms of playing a 6 string guitar. It is an amazing guitar. Get the Piezo option, it is worth it. I also remember that the Amazon listing don;t include a case, I think a case that would fit a gibson 335 would fit right. I have a case for a guitar modeled after a gibson 335, and the guitar fits right.
Question:	Does this come with a case
Answer:	The one I got did not. Thinking of getting a Gibson 335 case. The lower bout is wider then you might thing and not all cases might fit it.

User questions & answers

Question:	I bought balanced tension 9-40. I received regular 9-42s
Answer:	Some sellers don't exactly know what balanced tension strings are so they probably though you just wanted 9's
Question:	stings included in 1 package or just 1 string
Answer:	The strings are sold in sets of 6 strings. A set of strings for a guitar contains 6 strings... Some music stores sell individual strings, but these strings are sold in full sets of 6. Each string set includes 6 strings: one each of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th string (each string is a different gauge). For example: 1-pack: contains 1 set of 6 strings 3-pack: contains 3 sets of 6 strings (each of the 3 sets contains 6 strings) 10-pack: contains 10 sets of 6 strings (each of the 10 sets contains 6 strings) In other words, if you purchase the 3-pack, you will get 3 full sets of all 6 strings!
Question:	What does 3D mean
Answer:	It is just D'Addario's (SKU) way of naming the strings, it's a 3-pack of strings. Their single packs are EXL-110 and the three-pack is just EXL-110-3D.Thanks, Jason
Question:	Would this work on a les paul special p
Answer:	Shure thing man it will work on almost everyguitar. The only exeption would be if you were playing a really low tuning these string might not be tight enough hope that helps

User questions & answers

Question:	does D'addario have heavy gauge strings for a 7 string? I really liked the extra heavy 12/60 strings for my 6 strings, do you have that for a 7 string
Answer:	You should look into ghs boomers. They have some heavy sets.
Question:	Are these strings coated? The "XL" implies so
Answer:	NYXL strings are not coated, and XL is just a product series/family name, which does not imply any specific product specs. - Steve @ D'Addario
Question:	So what do you Blues players have to say about these strings
Answer:	Depends on the type of blues you play.... If you lean more toward "Delta", you probably wont like these much 'cause they give you more bottom end and highs and get rid of that muddy low-mid much sought-after in that style. Otherwise, many of us who pursue the more recent guitar gods (aka Hendrix, Stevie Ray, Page, etc.) will probably find these strings to be a nice "push" - to some, it will be like adding well-needed air to a deflating balloon.
Question:	What is thw difference between Balanced and Not Balanced versions
Answer:	In producing a Balanced Tension set, D'Addario has attempted to make the string tension of all six strings as equal as possible. The benefit to the play is that pressing on one string feels essentially the same as pressing on any other string. This is especially important for string-bending. Once you learn how much pressure is necessary to bend one string to increase the pitch 1/2 step (for example), the same pressure will increase the pitch 1/2 step on any other string.
