There has been one occurrence of the low B string snapping, but i think that was mainly to do with the rusty bridge it's sitting on (i mean what's the chance of a low string snapping before a high string snapping). But anyway i usually have these strings tuned to BEADF#b and it handles very good. I sometimes put it in drop C or D standard, and it still sounds awesome!... I would recommend these strings to any METAL guitarist. Also i think everyone should at least give them a go. For the price, they are cheap! You're getting your moneys worth!

Lovely strings :). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ i like these a lot *by W***N on 26 September 2022* Guitar strings are one of the most important parts of a guitar, and there are many different types to choose from. They come in different materials, sizes, and gauges, and each type has its own unique sound and feel. There are three main types of guitar strings: nylon, steel, and gut. Nylon strings are the most popular type for acoustic guitars, and they're also used on some electric guitars. They're made from a synthetic material, so they're less likely to break than other types of strings. Steel strings are the most common type of string for electric guitars, and they're also used on some acoustic guitars. They're made from a metal alloy, so they're very strong and durable. Gut strings were once the most popular type of string for acoustic guitars, but they're not as popular now because they're made from animal intestine, which can break easily. No matter what type of guitar you have, there's a type of string that's right for it. If you're not sure which type of string to get, ask your guitar teacher or a guitar store employee for help. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - XL Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - EXL148 - Perfect Intonation, Consistent Feel, Reliable Durability - For 6 String Guitars - 12-60 Extra Heavy - Ernie Ball Mammoth Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 12-62 Gauge (P02214) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49195032-exl148-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings-extra-heavy-12-60](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/49195032-exl148-nickel-wound-electric-guitar-strings-extra-heavy-12-60) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
