D'Addario NYXL1156 Medium Top/Extra Heavy Bottom Electric Guitar Strings

Engineered to bend farther, sing louder and stay in tune better than any other string, the NYXL1156 strings provide an unrivaled combination of tone and durability for today's demanding players.

High-Carbon Steel Core for Ultimate Strength

The NYXL1156 strings is an exclusive high-carbon steel core wire that delivers greater tuning stability and higher tension tolerance compared to standard strings. The reformulated nickel-plated wrap wire provides a subtle boost in output for a crisp, modern tone with serious crunch.

Hybrid Gage Optimized for Drop D Tuning

The NYXL1156 set features a Medium Top/Extra Heavy Bottom gauge optimized for drop D tuning, with plain steel strings of .011, .014, .019, .032, .044 and .056. The heavier bottom end provides a firm low end and resonant tone for drop D, while the medium top strings keep the feel familiar. The result is a balanced tension set that plays like a standard light gauge but sounds massive when tuned down.

The high-carbon steel core and nickel-plated steel wrap are resistant to breakage and corrosion, maintaining clarity and intonation even under heavy use.
