Wound 3rd string eliminates annoying intonation sharpness and tuning drift
Review by Kevin B. on 27 Jul 2026 review stating Wound 3rd string eliminates annoying intonation sharpness and tuning drift D'Addario EXL110W XL Nickel Wound 3rd strings 010-046 are reliable, regular-light electric guitar strings featuring a wound G-3rd string, high-carbon steel hex core, and nickel-plated steel wrap. They deliver bright tone, great intonation, and solve tuning issues common with a plain G-3rd string. The wound 3rd string eliminates annoying intonation sharpness and tuning drift often found with a plain 3rd string. The distinctive tone of these long-lasting strings handles a wide range of musical styles well, with balanced volume across all strings, including a thicker, warmer mids response on the G string.
