NYXL0946 is a hybrid set that combines the high strings of a super light set (.009) with the low strings of a regular light set (.046). The result is a set with a strong fundamental bass and super flexibility in the high strings. D’Addario NYXL guitar strings can bend further, sound louder, and stay in tune better than any string you've played before. Designed, perfected, and manufactured by D’Addario in New York, this newly developed, break-resistant core made from high-carbon steel and an alloyed steel composition offers a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power. NYXL provides more strength and up to 131% higher tuning stability through a completely redesigned wire drawing process combined with a revolutionary fusion twisting process for the plain steels. The newly formulated, nickel-plated string windings have improved magnetic properties, leading to higher output and enhanced mid-range frequency response, resulting in more presence and crunch. NYXL features D’Addario's exclusive, New York-made high-carbon steel alloy for unparalleled strength – play fearlessly. The improved tuning stability compared to traditional nickel-wound strings means you can get in tune faster and stay in tune better. Wound strings have an improved mid-range frequency response in the range of 1 - 3.5 kHz, providing more presence and crunch to cut through the mix. NYXL0946 offers a strong fundamental bass with super flexibility in the high strings: Plain Steel .009, .011, .016, Nickel Wound .026, .036, .046. Environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging ensures that the strings stay fresh.
