## Description

D’Addario NYXL guitar strings will bend further, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you’ve played before. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by D’Addario in New York, this newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy delivers a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power. NYXL’s provide more strength and up to 131% greater tuning stability by utilizing a completely reinvented wire drawing process coupled with a revolutionary “fusion twist” process for the plain steels. The reformulated nickel plated string windings have greater magnetic properties resulting in higher output and enhanced mid-range frequency response for more presence and crunch.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many packs come with this purchase?**
A: This is a single pack. TransTrem steinberger strings are more expensive.

A: The NYXLS1046 set is an electric guitar set with double ball end strings, gauges 10-46.  The title should not read "bass", it's a mistake.

These are the best pedal steel strings hands down!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by G***O on 29 October 2019*

Best strings I've ever used in the last 40+ years of playing. They're definitely priced on the high side but last at least twice as long, so that has to be factored in. The 3rd string (.012) DOESN'T break, even after an extended period. No surprise "snap" in the middle of a gig! 🤘🤠👌
