The NYXL is what happens when D'Addario decides the standard isn't good enough anymore. Same regular light 10-46 gauge that guitarists have played forever, but built around their proprietary NY Steel core. The result is a string that holds tune better under heavy playing, breaks less often, and has a slightly hotter output with a stronger midrange presence than the standard XL Nickel. If you're gigging regularly or recording and tired of retuning between every take, this is the upgrade that actually makes a difference you can hear and feel.

The reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap gives you a bright, punchy attack without sacrificing warmth. These are not a dramatic departure from what you know. They're just a tighter, more reliable version of the string you've already been playing. Made in the USA in D'Addario's New York facility.
