D'Addario NYXL Electric Guitar Strings

D'Addario NYXL guitar strings will bend farther, sing louder and stay in tune better than other strings.

New Yorkers are a notoriously tough crowd. So it takes a New York company to produce electric guitar strings that are up to the challenge of playing in the Big Apple or anywhere else you need guitar strings you can count on in the clutch. Put them on and play and you'll hear the difference in a New York minute.

Envisioned, perfected and manufactured by D'Addario in New York, this newly engineered, break-resistant D'Addario NYXL 1149 string features a high-carbon steel core. Plain steel alloy delivers a whole new level of freedom, confidence and power.

NYXLs provide more strength and 131% more tuning stability by utilizing a completely reinvented wire drawing process and revolutionary corrosion-resistant tin coating application. 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. The NYXL sets are designed with the most popular string gauges for their ideal combination of flexibility and tone. They have been re-engineered to be stronger for enhanced output.
