Great balance of sound and playability

I tend to prefer .10 - .46 as I do not like low tension. D'Addario EXL110BT XL nickel wound are the best trade-off between sound (higher tension louder sound) and playability (ability to bend strings for instance and keep efforts moderate). In addition, the string quality and softness is great, they are very resistant. These strings are a must ! By the way they are Mark Knopfler's favorites !
