Description

NYXL1046 Light strings are engineered to deliver optimal performance for guitarists wanting powerful, balanced tone across the tonal spectrum.

Deep, Punchy Bass

The NYXL1046 Light strings feature nickel-plated steel wrap wire over hex-core wire, which produces tight, punchy bass tones with outstanding clarity and definition. The nickel plating adds warmth and resonance, while the steel core provides tension and snap. The result is deep, solid bass that lets each note ring through.

Articulate, Vocal Midrange

At the heart of the NYXL1046 tone is a dynamic, vocal midrange that brings depth and dimension to chords and single-note lines alike. Chords take on a full, resonant quality, while lead lines soar above the accompaniment.

Shimmering High-End Sparkle

The NYXL1046 strings deliver chimey, shimmering highs that make melodic lines come alive and lend clarity to complex chords.

Superior Longevity and Performance

NYXL1046 Light electric guitar strings are built for longevity and consistent performance allowing the NYXL1046 to sound fresh longer than traditional strings. For guitarists wanting premium tone and playability over the long haul, the NYXL1046 strings are an ideal choice.

Best Guitar Strings!!!!

I use to use Ernie Ball Guitar strings for all my guitars, but one day I walked in Guitar center and I asked for something better, stronger, and louder. They recommended D'Addario, I also bend the strings a lot and they said that it was time to try this new brand. It comes in a packet of 6 (the whole set) and it makes it simpler to put on the strings because the end of the strings each have a different color and even says in the package where the string goes. It even comes with a sticker :) Anyways, after I tuned the strings and turned on the amp and played a good power chord, OMG was I blown away, it sounds really clear, louder, a lot stronger and more crunch, and they stay in tune for a long time (the strings have 131% more tuning stability), if you really hate tuning every time you play then these guitar strings are for you. Finally, yes you will pay around $12, but trust me it is totally worth it. These strings are a really high quality strings, if you love playing and love your guitar, let it feel a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power.

Horrible Strings

I bought these strings along with a set of the new Ernie Ball M-Steel strings, and did a shootout on both my Strats and Les Paul guitars. These we're not even in the same ballpark, and I actually found that my strings we're continuously slipping on both the E and B string. My experiences we're opposite of what Daddario claims in their advertisements. A night and day difference in tone, my band actually asked if my volume or amp settings changed when I switched back to the EB strings. Sorry Daddario, these are not for me.

    These strings are great! They last a while and sound quite good. I use them on all my electrics. I'm pretty plain using 10's on most of my guitars.

    I only used to Daddario because they are my favorite strings. I put these strings on either new guitars or my favorite guitars.

  • I would buy these strings again.
