NYXL1046-3P : nothing special

9 years ago

I play for 30 years and have tried many strings. I like Boomers a lot because they are bright and their freshness does last for a long time. I wanted to beef up my tele so i decided to try the nyxl set.I am a Guthrie Trapp fan and i was sold by their marketing and claims. Generaly i am not fond of d'addario and this set reminded me why i don't like them. The have a neutral sound too balanced for my taste. As for the claim that they are louder i did not notice any difference. The thing that really annoyed me is that they make your fingers stick to the string and constrain you. I played them for 4 hours this evening and they died, the feeling of a new string has gone. I hardly ever break strings so i don't care for their claim of strength. I don't think they justify their double price compared to classic sets and I would not buy them again even if they costed so.
