Daddario NYXL0942 Reviews

Really good strings!

The best guitar strings in the market. No jucks. And they aren't Expensive!

best strings out there (imo)

very good strings, durable, slick feeling and they dont die as fast as other brands

Easy to use and great tuning stability

I was impressed with how easy it was to get the guitar tuned up, and how stable the tuning is. I didn't need to do any string stretching.

I definitely recommend you try a set if you haven't done so already!

I put these on my Fender strat and I can say the there is definitely a tonal difference between these and the Ernie Ball super slinkys I used to play before. The tone sounds more crisp and more pronounced in the mid/high frequencies and it also feels a bit easier to play. Also, they last longer.

Smooth action and clear tone

Like I wrote in the title of this review, the D'Addario NYXL0942 strings are an excellent set, mainly because of the clear tone and smooth action.

I'm using this set to substitute Ernie Ball Cobalt type strings, which are simply fantastic, but not preferable in terms of action. In my opinion, the Cobalt type have a kind of rough tact that requires some time for getting used to it.

With this D'Addario set, I can get similar tones but with a much better and smooth tact. But I think this opinion will vary a lot from one guitar player to another.

A bit expansive, but they sound and feel great. And they last a lot

Excellent Tuning Stability & Strength

Fantastic strings. Less prone to breakage than d'Addario XL nickel wound strings and offer significantly better tuning stability. I would recommend these strings to any fans of d'Addario.

Great strings

Really like these strings. Stay in tune well. Wounded strings much smoother and it's easier to slide. I also have impression like the tension is slightly less than other Daddario or Ernie Ball strings have.

Silky Smooth

Up until now I had only used Ernie Balls on my guitars - I had tried Daddario on my acoustics and was pleased but never on my electrics. I bought these because a friend recommended them and boy, these are just amazing.

First off, I use low gauge strings and are constantly buying new packs. I've even bought multipacks but I doubt I will from now on. These feel like 9's, but they last like 11's. I don't know what black magic Daddario are pulling but even when I've been proper going for it on the high E I've not been worried at all. For a regular gigging guitarist who likes something low, theses will be fantastic.

Secondly the feel of these is like silk, they play fantastically and chime beautifully through a clean setting - I use a lot of fuzz too though, and they turn dark and very smooth when overdriving, just awesome.

When you first restring your guitar these do sound very metallic, but after a couple of hours of playing they develop a beautiful character. Definitely would buy again, worth every penny.

The best strings I've tried so far

These have lasted far better than the regular D'addario 9-42 set I have used for years.

They also sound marginally brighter, and feel a bit smoother to play.

I'll be using these on all my guitars from now on.

Highly recommended product.
