DAddario Electric Guitar Strings NYXL Nickel Plated NYXL0942-3P Super Light 09-42 6-String Set Pack of 3

The NYXL has to be the best set of strings I've ever used. They're well made, very long-lasting and the tone is oh so sweet. Read more

My favorite strings at this point are also from D'addario, but they are the pure nickel EPN version. NYXL seem equally as easily bendable, and good sounding but a bit clearer. These are pleasingly clear strings. I would say they are bright compared to the EPN pure nickel, but more like CLEAR with just a subtle hint of midrange bump in the right place to bring out the sound of your guitar. I almost can't decide if I like these enough to keep using them, but they seem to be pretty physically strong & they didn't need any stretching to keep tune. (although I did stretch them out of habit & for good measure). The prices for NYXL stings at this time is anywhere from around $10-25 per set, although they seem to hover around $15-20 at retailers in my neck of the woods. (SoCal). If I could pick these up for around $20 for 3 sets, I would probably make these my go-to. But I really prefer the smoother sound of EPN pure nickels (although only by a little-bit). Over all I would definitely recommend these strings, but I also recommend to shop around for the best bargain, as these seem to be over-priced in many places. I would say these are great strings at $7-10, but average at the $15-20 range. A fair price for these in my opinion is $12-15, since they are new. I think these should settle in at $7-10 when the price settles. I don't know how long it will take for these to begin to dull, I have used them for about 3 days & they are still bright as new.

Great strings, bright and long lasting. Read more

What I like most about NYXL strings is that they have great tuning stability and last a long time. These are the longest lasting strings I have ever used. (I have been playing guitar over 40 years). They sound great as well and I have not had any issues with corrosion. (I always wipe them down after playing). I once had to throw away many sets of Gibson strings I had on the shelf long term due to rust, not so with these strings which are also sealed in plastic. They cost a little more but for the convenience / long life I feel they are worth the price. Read more

I am new to playing the guitar, but I have changed bass strings for many years. Changing guitar strings is an interesting adventure. This product offers a clever solution to that task. The strings are packaged in pairs, with the E and A strings, D and G strings, and B and E strings grouped together and color coded. This way, you don’t have to untangle all six strings from each other. I love that idea! In addition to the brilliant packaging, these strings sound amazing. Read more

Great strings. Long lasting. To me they have a much better feel than Ernie Ball. They're tone seems to be more consistent and less harsh than Ernie Ball. I've been using ernie ball forever. These just seem easier under my fingers. Easier to slide and bend. I'm not a dive bomber so couldn't tell you anything about that but Ive bought these several times and have always been really happy. I don't have money to burn but these are worth it. I'll continue to buy them. I do live shows about three times a week for 2 to 3 hours using mostly If under strat and a Gibson Les Paul. Read more

I’ve used the regular xl’s for over 30 years along with Ernie Ball super slinkys and finally got around to trying these. Excellent strings. No intonation or tuning issues and they sound, feel and play great. The only downside is they’re very expensive but they claim they last longer. We’ll see Read more
