D'addario XL Strings!

These strings are killer for Drop C tuning! (11-56) They have a good bright, crisp and clear tone to get those chugs nice and and sharp. I love D'addario strings to the maxx and the staff at sam ash nashville is super amazing and helpful. Bye Bye guitar center! lol

Consistent good tone with benefits!

I use these on an ESP LTD V-300. Never had problems while tuning a half step down from standard, and there's enough tension that you can tune down a step or two and still be fine. I've been using these strings for a few years now, and don't see using anything else. Be sure to register for the Player's Circle as well, as you can get free* swag for the codes on the inner protective pack! *You do have to buy the strings first.
