The NYXL1046 strings are designed with standard gauges for a comfortable playing feel and an ideal electric sound. D’Addario NYXL guitar strings can bend further, sound louder, and stay in tune better than any strings you've played before. Designed, perfected, and manufactured by D’Addario in New York, these newly developed, break-resistant high-carbon steel cores and plain steel alloys offer a new level of freedom, confidence, and power. NYXL strings provide more strength and up to 131% higher tuning stability through a completely redesigned wire drawing process combined with a revolutionary fusion twisting process for the plain steels. The newly formulated, nickel-plated string windings have better magnetic properties, resulting in higher output and improved mid-frequency response, creating more presence and crunch. NYXL strings feature D’Addario's exclusive high-carbon steel alloy made in New York for unparalleled strength, allowing you to play fearlessly. They offer improved tuning stability compared to traditional nickel-wound strings, enabling you to get in tune faster and stay in tune better. The wound strings have an enhanced mid-frequency response in the range of 1 - 3.5 kHz, providing more presence and crunch to cut through the mix. NYXL1046 offers an ideal combination of comfortable playability and electric sound: Plain Steel .010, .013, .017, Nickel Wound .026, .036, .046. The eco-friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging ensures that the strings stay fresh.
