These strings are constructed from the same materials as the popular EXL series, featuring a nickel-plated winding on a hexagonal core.
The key difference is that, after winding, each string is polished in three stages to achieve an exceptionally smooth and even surface.
This results in a dark, warm tone—especially favored by jazz guitarists.
Pat Metheny and John Scofield both use D’Addario Chromes strings on their Ibanez signature guitars.
