D'addario pays more to have their ball ends precision turned from solid brass stock. The edges have radii that prevent the ball end from cutting into wooden bridges or guitar tops. Each string is twisted to perfection right down to the three neatly wrapped "lock twists." And those lock twists help keep their plain steel strings from unraveling or breaking prematurely. Each and every spool of precision drawn high carbon steel wire D'addario uses goes through three quality control tests before it becomes a set of D'addario strings. Pioneering innovative string design has been a D'Addario family tradition for nine generations. Most guitar players don't realize that the inner core wire in ALL D'Addario steel strings is made from carefully drawn, hexagonally shaped, high carbon steel wire. The six "edges" of the core wire bite into the softer wrap wire, securing it all along its length.

Summary: I love 'em!!!
Comment: I've been a professional guitarist for more than 20 years, and in that time, the ONLY strings that I've used are D'Addario XL120's. Now that I'm exclusively using 7 string guitars (until I have the 8 string built), I continue with the 7 string version of the XL120's; the XL120-7 set. They're bright, yet warm and very punchy sounding when fresh. They're also very well balanced in terms of tone and actual feel beneath my fingers. Other strings I've tried can sometimes have too much "Boom(ers)" or can sound too thin and bright, or flat and dull. To my ears, the D'Addario's just sound "right".
The only drawbacks to using these strings are that they can take awhile to stretch out and stay in tune with a standard Floyd Rose or Ibanez Edge vibrato system. And, if not wiped down after playing, they can corrode fairly quickly. Although, that could be due more to the northern, moist climate that I live in, or perhaps I have nuclear waste finger sweat!!!
I don't have an endorsement deal; I pay for my stings out of pocket just like you, and for my money, there is no other brand of guitar string! I use 'em, and I highly recommend them!!!
Your actual mileage may vary, not for use with all Hot Wheels sets, kids, get your parent's permission before calling,etc.
