Frequently asked questions
- Plain G or wound G: which should I use for the third string?
- D'Addario offers both: the EXL115 keeps a plain .018 G, while the EXL115W swaps in a wound one. The .019 is for players who stay plain but want one step heavier.
- Can the PL019 go on an acoustic?
- Yes, D'Addario rates it for acoustic too.
- Can I change just the .019 G?
- Yes; on a set built string by string, that's how you keep your gauges.
