Best strings I know
coffeecup 18.09.2021
I use these strings on my Ibanez RG for the last 5 years. I was using XLs before (for 10 years). The NYXLs last 2 months longer, the intonation stays the same through the whole length of the string. (On XLs the intonation goes after 1 month), they never corrode, have better tuning stability.
The sound is close but not exactly the same. NYXL have brighter high E string. I would say XLs sound better but just a little and depends what you're looking for.

The price is not a problem. They last 2 times longer than XLs.

Oh and the packaging is fantastic!

Daddario NYXL1046-3P
Arsen_Saryyev 22.03.2024
The D'Addario NYXL1046-3P String Set is a unique offering from a renowned string manufacturer that combines high quality sound, durability and ease of use. Here are a few key features and benefits of this set:

Latest NYXL Technology: These strings are made using D'Addario's innovative NYXL technology, which provides high tuning stability, durability, and improved grip on the guitar fingerboard. They also offer a bright and rich sound.

Durable and Tensile Resistant: NYXL1046-3P strings have a reinforced construction that makes them more resistant to stretching and breaking. This is especially important for guitarists who play with an intense style or use vibrato and bends.

Balanced Tone: This set of strings provides a balanced tone with good harmonic structure, making them suitable for a wide range of musical styles, from rock and blues to pop and jazz.

Savings: Buying a set of three strings is usually a better option than buying strings individually. This allows you to save money and have spare strings in case you need them.

Overall, the D'Addario NYXL1046-3P string set is a great choice for guitarists who value sound quality, durability, and tuning stability. They provide a high level of performance and fulfill the needs of even the most demanding musicians.

After many years these are now my "go-to-strings"...
LeonardS 17.08.2019
When testing this set of strings I discovered the following:
1) Very nice tone !
2) More output compared to other nickel-wound strings of same gauge
3) More stretch for extreme bends
4) Keeps retention better over time compared to other strings
5) Easy to play and nice feel
6) Improved tuning stability
7) A pretty long-lasting "new-string-sound"
8) Keeps that "I just changed my strings feel" much longer than regular strings
My conclusion: Going forward the NYXL series will be my favorite set of strings for most of my electric guitars.
Yes, they are considerably more expensive than the standard D'Addario EXL series or similar brands, so it's up to the customer to decide whether those differences or improvements are worth it.

Happy accident
Circular 08.06.2023
After playing other strings for decades my guitar tech put the NYXL on my preferred live guitar (a Les Paul, top wrapped as always). I first thought he put the wrong gauge on to start with! Balanced tone and the life span of the the NYXL is far better than any other string I've used in the past, the intonation stays better for a longer period of time and, maybe this is a coincidence but, I've so far not broken one single string, after 2 years (and hundreds of gigs - I change strings every 3 gigs btw) of using NYXL's on all my guitars (plus bass guitars). Highly recommend!

Great sound and tuning stability
naidsy 02.01.2020
These strings sound great, feel great, and definitely help with tuning stability on some guitars that had issued previously. They also last a bit longer than standard strings, though they are not marketed as a long life string.

These Bend Further!
Anonymous 31.03.2016
This was a repeat purchase because my son had already used these, in the band, and decided he was going to stick with them. He has several guitars, but these strings are his first choice to be fitted to his Floyd Rose-equipped Schecter, six-string guitar.

Firstly, their tone is wonderful. Yes, they are not cheap; but that probably won't worry those who are looking for what they can offer. But here is the real reason why my son uses these strings: they bend further than any other type of string he has tried.

These strings make "bending five frets" much easier than any other brand he has tried and I can only assume that, by the same token, they probably stand up better to the abuse a Floyd Rose can subject them to.

With my one-track mentality, I would never have discovered these strings: I would have stuck with my known brand; it's only my son's due diligence to researching equipment that led him to trying them.

If you are into quality strings and you bend strings a lot, I think you will like these. It's an expensive way to try them out but I think you will be pleased; besides: they're probably cheaper here than anywhere else!

nothing special
Anonymous 28.07.2016
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.

Oxydation !
jrmydrs 16.03.2021
La promesse était pourtant belle mais aucune différence avec des cordes "regular" au niveau de l'oxydation. Il y a déjà des marques noires au bout de 4 jours ...

I bought this fot my Schecter S1 Elite with standart tuning.

For many years, i used many different strings but this is clearly the best out of box string ever. It feels very nice while playing and has balanced bass-treble frequencies.

I strongly reccomend trying this awesome string set
