collapse expand iconDescription

The D'Addario NYXL1052 Light Top/Heavy Bottom Electric Guitar Strings were envisioned and engineered by D'Addario in New York. These nickel-plated strings utilize a breakthrough wire drawing process and advanced corrosion-resistant coating to deliver peerless tone, tuning stability, and durability. The NYXL1052 set is tailored for guitarists seeking maximum versatility and control, delivering a deeper low-end than Regular Lights.

Unparalleled Strength and Tuning Stability

NYXL strings are built to bend farther and sing louder without sacrificing tuning stability. D'Addario's revolutionary tin coating and high-carbon steel core provide 131% more tuning stability and unrivaled strength compared to traditional strings. The NYXL1052 set stands up to aggressive techniques while maintaining pitch.

Enhanced Tone and Output

NYXL strings are precision engineered to produce optimal tone and output. D'Addario's re-formulated nickel-plated windings have greater magnetic properties, resulting in higher output, enhanced midrange frequency response, and more crunch. The NYXL1052 set delivers a balanced tone with articulate lows, rich mids, and cutting highs that shine through in any mix.

Superior Comfort and Playability

With gauges ranging from 10-52, the NYXL1052 set provides a familiar feel for most guitarists. The strings have a smooth, polished surface and optimized winding for reduced finger drag. The NYXL1052 set plays fast with a slinky feel, enabling intricate techniques and expressive, emotive playing.

Road-Tested and Stage-Ready

NYXL strings are vigorously tested on tour to ensure maximum performance under real-world playing conditions. The breakthrough NYXL1052 set is ready to stand up to the demands of the stage and studio.
