Description
If you’re tuning down a whole step or just like your low end thick and your top end forgiving, NYXL1156 is the set to reach for. D’Addario built this hybrid gauge specifically for drop-D style tuning, keeping the playing tension close to what you’d feel on a standard light set — so you get the beef without the wrestling match.
- Plain steels: .011, .014, .019
- Nickel wound: .032, .044, .056
These are NYXL strings through and through, meaning the plain steels go through D’Addario’s fusion twist process and the whole set is made from a high-carbon steel alloy engineered in-house in New York. The result is a string that shrugs off breakage, bends further than you’d expect from something this heavy, and locks into tune fast — D’Addario claims up to 131% better tuning stability than standard nickel wound sets.
The reformulated nickel plating on the wound strings also boosts magnetic output, pushing extra energy into the 1–3.5 kHz range. Translation: more crunch, more presence, more of your riffs actually cutting through a busy mix instead of getting buried.
Every set ships in corrosion-resistant packaging, so what you install is exactly as fresh as the day it left the factory — no dead, dull strings hiding in the pack.
Swap out your tired set for NYXL1156 and feel the difference the moment you tune up: livelier, louder, and built to hold pitch through your heaviest sessions.
