Daddario NYXL1156 Reviews

Good quality set for downtuned guitars

NYXLs are expensive but there IS a distinct quality to them, in terms of playability/feel and durability.

Setup in C standard on a 25" scale guitar, these are really nice.

The best!

I use it for a while and absolutely happy.

Good strings, but not for me

11-56 is a great gauge for Drop C, but for me the NYXLs sound lasts only like 2 days and then the sound is already died down. I can even see and feel the dirt piling up on them too. Guess it's just not for me, I don't have this issue with Elixirs.

Brilliant but…

The fancy core makes them feel a lot heavier than they are. Great but, for me (and I like 13-58’s) they feel a gauge heavier than stated.

Great strings for modern tone!

Used these strings on my guitars for the last few years and I've always been very happy with the feel and sound

Le jeu de cordes idéal pour le Drop D !

Un jeu de cordes de qualité de fabrication et surtout sonore !

Si vous jouez souvent en Drop D ces cordes sont faites pour vous !

Je recommande !

Best Strings On The Market

NYXL is so far ahead of the other strings on the market in terms of quality, strength and tone. I used this for Drop C.

Good Quality

Definitely good quality strings imo.

Perfect strings for drop C tuning

Brilliant strings overall, great option for drop C tuning.

- Stay in tune very well

- Great sound (use them on EST LTD EC-1000)

- Last long

Only strings you'll ever need

I've used these strings for years and I've never had a bad string. Never snapped with a bend, and if sometimes you just cannot be bothered changing strings, their clarity doesn't die out incredibly fast like some other brands.

Incredibly strong, long lasting and beautiful sounding. I will never use anything but NYXL.

best strings for drop c

best strings for drop c been using them for years and love them cant use anything else it actually sounds brighter and louder than any competitor and they stay good for a long time and if u use ghs fastfret they last a long long time unless they break wich can happen but nevwer happened to me

Wow

As good as Strings can get.

not the best

their great strings, sound nice feel nice in the beginning, but they seem to lose their brightness just as fast as non coated strings so, not much point in getting more expensive strings

best strings I've had

i use it on Les Paul with D standard tunning.

pros

+ sound

+ reliability

+ played several gigs without breaking a string

cons

- nothing

Simply great strings

I love the NYXL line they feel and sound great and the don't degrade after playing just one gig. I also almost never had a string break.

My def. number 1 string choice

Daddario NYXL line are the best strings I've used so far. I've tried quite few string sets from other manufacturers but these are golden!

Also, Im very happy with set that I currently use (11-56) because, with other manufacturers, I couldn't find set that fits as good as this one either top string was always a bit flappy or tension was way high and bending was nearly impossible.

Endurance of these strings is absolutely amazing. I wipe them before show and they manage to pull 3-4 gigs easily.

I would def. recommend these strings!

Amazing strings!

I use these strings on my PRS Custom 24 in drop D and C mostly, and they're great. I used to use Elixirs and while they're great strings too, these have a clarity to them and higher tension that makes more aggressive styles a charm to play. I do feel like the advertised mid frequency boost is audible.

Overall I do really like the feel and sound of these strings and would recommend them to anyone that's looking for strong, durable and punchy strings that are a charm to play.

Great strings!

I've been using the standard Daddario EXL117 11-56 (drop C tuning on a Les Paul) for a while now and I didn't think the NYXL would make such a difference (2.5 times the price...) but I gave it a shot and the feel and longevity is really better. The sound might not be 2.5 times better but overall it's a good improvement. So I'm sticking to the NYXL now.

Strings

My favourite strings. NYXL just sound great once I played them I put them on all my guitars. Last really long haven't broken a string yet.

Turn it up to 11

Great clarity and bounce off a new set of these beasts.
