About this item

  • PREMIUM GUITAR STRING - NYXLs are our premium uncoated electric strings, delivering unrivaled strength and tuning stability, plus enhanced mid-range.
  • CUT THROUGH THE MIX – The premium nickel-plated steel wrap wire used for NYXLs provides accentuated frequency response in the 1 - 3.5 kHz range, so you get more presence and crunch to cut through the mix.
  • STAYS IN TUNE, STRONGER STRING - Stays in tune 131% better than standard strings, while the NY Steel core wire makes them up to 40% stronger—bent two whole steps higher, NYXL strings are still at less than 75% of their breaking point.
  • EARN REWARD POINTS - NYXL strings come with a code which you can register to earn Players Circle points.
  • MADE IN THE USA – NYXL electric guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility.

Product Description

D’Addario NYXL guitar strings will bend further, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you’ve played before. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by D’Addario in New York, this newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy delivers a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power. NYXL’s provide more strength and up to 131% greater tuning stability by utilizing a completely reinvented wire drawing process coupled with a revolutionary “fusion twist” process for the plain steels. The reformulated nickel plated string windings have greater magnetic properties resulting in higher output and enhanced mid-range frequency response for more presence and crunch.

Playing music since the dead sea was just sick! I prefer the NYXL 09544's over the Fender Factory .009-.042 strings that normally come with the average Tele/Strat. Granted they're a slight bump in thickness, but for me (mostly lead/comping: Blues, Rk&Rl, Jazz, Little Chicken Picken') for bolt on neck/fixed bridge/six inline Axes they do the trick. Intonation and tuning stability is solid, my Rory Gallagher bends are easier and just as juicy without the stiffness of 10.5's or 11's (along with my custom Tube overdrive peddle of course lol).The price is fair and the NYXL line of strings last a long longer than a lot of "other brands" I've tried. Once broken in and stretched a bit, they can take a lickin' and keep on rockin'! Peace
