Product Overview
D'Addario NYXL1074 guitar strings are an 8-string hybrid set combining regular gauge high strings (.010, .013, .017) with heavier low strings (.030, .042, .054, .064, .074) optimized for 27" scale length guitars. Manufactured with D'Addario’s exclusive NY Steel high-carbon steel core in New York, these strings deliver unmatched strength, durability, and up to 131% greater tuning stability compared to traditional nickel wound strings. The nickel-plated steel wrap wire is formulated with enhanced magnetic properties to boost mid-range frequency response (1 - 3.5 kHz), offering more presence and crunch that help the strings cut through any mix. These uncoated strings maintain a natural feel and provide the articulate, bright tone demanded by extended range and heavy playing styles.
