NYXL1046 NYXL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - .010-.046 Regular Light (3-pack) Review

The Only Strings I Will Buy

I have the world's worst case of sweaty-handitosis. Every string I have tried in my 30+ years of playing guitar has literally dissolved under my fingers, regardless of how often I cleaned them. Then I found the NYXL's. Not only do they last 4 times longer than every other string I've tried, they manage to do so while feeling and sounding better. They don't feel weird or overly… read more slick like some other "long lasting" strings. They are also a dream to bend. However D'addario managed to pull this off, I am grateful they did. I won't buy any other strings if I can help it. Get ya some!!

Switched From Fender

I am very particular about string sound/tone, feel, and stability, and had used Fender Nickel Super Bullets of a very unique set that I chose and had shipped in cases of 30 packs. A band mate tossed a set of NYXL to (at) me and and asked me to try them. After one set on my 'bedroom Strat' I noticed a possible new love, and put sets on two other 'stage Strats'. After a couple weeks… read more of use I found the NYXL 10-46 were brighter - but not tinny with still a pronounced bass that doesn't get weak after a few nights. The biggest plus to these strings is the 'feel'. They seem - or feel - to be smoother than other brands, and make a night of slides and bends very pleasant. I needed to finish up a few sets of the Fenders, so compared the NYXL with Fender side by side on stage. In my opinion after a few songs with the NYXL's the Fender strings felt like they had a hard edge to the wrap that is very noticeable, and felt like my fingers drug more rather than glide with the NYXL. While a string cannot make you play better or faster, the NYXL feels quite smoother and has a longer 'new string tone' than others. I'm happy to say that I will be using the D'Addario NYXL for many years to come. It's worth it to everyone to at least try one set to feel a real difference.

Remarkable difference!

I changed my Strat strings to these babies! I don't think it's just my imagination, but these strings have a remarkable difference in tone than what I replaced. What it says on the label is true. After,putting on the new set, I played and recorded for several hours before putting my guitar down because it sounded sooo good! You won't regret changing over to the NYXL. These… read more strings are sweet! RGB

I've used many different strings and find that D'Adderio strings sound and last a very long time.
