Daddario NYXL0946

Unbreakable strings

I had a spare set whic I had put on my second guitar. They've been on it for more than 4 months now. Only the G string went completely black but other than that they're still holding up.

quality

clearly a quality product, maybe still prefer slinkys

Best String I have ever tried!!

In my opinion, those are the best strings I have ever tried, and will probably stick to them from now on!

Excellent for a bit of added tuning stability

I bought these on a whim, as I wanted to really see if they did hold tuning better than the standard D'Addario/Ernie Ball sets.

My Les Pauls hold tuning very well, as I have long shaft locking tuners, to reduce the string break angle, I get the nuts cut perfectly by my local guitar tech and don't deck the tailpiece to the body.

All that being said, the straight string pull guitars I own do tend to stay in tune just that bit longer. So, I stuck a set of these NYXL's on and it has improved the tuning on my Les Pauls even more. Anyone who is used to Ernie Ball Slinky's or D'Addario XL's will be right at home with these.

I didn't notice any different in feel, personally.

They're probably overkill for straight string pull headstocks, but definitely great for steeper Gibson headstock headstock angles.

Very happy with them. Will definitely keep buying.

Great sound. Decent durability

I use them exclusively for about a year now in one of my guitars and they sound like their tremble is more open, not muffled especially the coated ones. They feel great and are easy to play. I tend to change them in two months time at least as they are not as durable as elixir. But for some reason I find their sound more satisfying but I don't think that's objective. Anyway those strings definitely worth a try!

To bright for my Ibanez RG550

I used XL strings before and they are singing after when changed to NYXL feeling is much better for sliding, no corrosion, dirt yet but they dont have that mellow sound like XLs. They are more difficult to tune and have more 2-5kHz frequecy and kind of vibrate what annoing my ears. I had to cut of high freq on EQ. Can't play to long on distortion channel and soloing. I think they are much better for clean guitar sound.

good quality, great sound

I'm an ernie ball user and tried these for a change. they sound great, more expensive than the slinky ones. but they're ok.

Awsome

Great sustain, sounds amazing and hold the tone for quite a while.

love it

top strings, quality never fails to impress

Good strings, but overpriced

This are better than a 6eur set, but not a lot better. They don't last noticably longer in my experience.

Get elixirs instead. If you don't like those, daddario XT are still a much better deal than NYXL.
