Joey Santiago

As the co-founder and lead guitarist of the alt-rock heroes the Pixies, Joey Santiago helped pioneer a sound that would become the blueprint for countless acts to follow. With his distinctive attack, angular phrasing, and iconic experimentation, Santiago’s playing stood out even in an era dominated by other emerging alternative music. For nearly four decades, he’s trusted D’Addario strings to deliver the tone, reliability, and feel he needs on stage and in the studio.
