D\u2019Addario NYXL guitar strings will bend farther, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you\u2019ve played before. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by D\u2019Addario 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\u2019s provide more strength and up to 131% greater tuning stability by utilizing a completely reinvented wire drawing process coupled with a revolutionary \u201cfusion twist\u201d 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.<\/p>\n
