Daddario ESXL170

Daddario strings are very well made and these strings are no exception. It is my opinion that Daddario strings sound fantastic when they are brand new, giving a very metallic and robust sound, making them great to record rock music with. My big problem with this particular model of string is that they do not stay bright for a very long time and sound completely dead after 5 gigs. They are a reasonably priced string and as such replacing them is not too much of a financial burden. I personally would like to see a double ball end, stainless steel, coated string in the Daddario range.
