D'Addario NYXL Strings - Pitch Stability Test

D'Addario

collapse expand iconDescription

NYXL1164 is designed for 7-string players with larger gauges for just the right amount of flexibility and fatter tone. DAddario NYXL guitar strings will bend farther, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you"ve played before.

Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by DAddario 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. NYXLs provide more strength and up to 131% greater tuning stability by utilizing a completely reinvented wire drawing process coupled with a revolutionary fusion twist 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.

    Nice strings. Smooth bends and solid tones. Have them on my 6 and 7 string guitars. They work very well on my fan fret guitar also.

    Years ago I switched to NYXLs from the Ernie Ball Cobalt coated strings after a recommendation. These outlive any other brand I've tried, and sound brand new the whole time. I don't recall ever having one break on me, even after 6 months to a year of play. I've heard others complain of these not lasting long due to their sweat corroding the strings, and that may be true for some, however I have not experienced any major wear.

  • Okay. But overrated

    These strings are good tension-wise and they are strong. However when I first put these new strings on, the homogenous strings corroded within hours. I have tried many other strings and these ones just really don't do it for me. They are definitely overrated as D'Addario's high-end line of strings. Doesn't matter how bad you sweat, these strings WON'T last you more than a gig.
