String Gauges: 11-14-18-28-38-50 Alexi Laiho Electric Guitar Strings have an ultra-thin coating with similar characteristics to Dr. Strings' Dimebag Darrell High Voltage construction, nickel-plated, steel wound strings. They feature round core construction for increased sustain, more bottom, and easier bending. Also, they're treated with a non-toxic, corrosion-resistant Long-Life treatment exclusive to Dr. Strings. Alexi Laiho is a Finnish guitarist known for being one of the fastest guitarists in the world. If you've ever seen him solo, you understand why such an icon needs strings that will withstand his ridiculously fast and hard shredding style. Alexi endorses his signature strings because "They sound big and fat and bend like no other. It's an awesome feeling when you know you can really bang the crap out of your guitar without having to worry about snapping a string no matter how crazy you are slammin' it, testing the limits with a whammy bar or gnarly bends."
