Description
If you’re tuning down to C or just like a thick, cable-like feel under your fingers, NYXL1260 is the set to reach for. This is a hybrid gauge setup — .012, .016, .020 plain steel paired with .034, .046, .060 nickel wound — engineered specifically for players pushing lower tunings without turning their strings into rubber bands.
What sets NYXL apart from a standard nickel wound set is the wire itself. D’Addario reworked their drawing process and added a “fusion twist” technique on the plain steels, resulting in a high-carbon steel core that shrugs off breakage and holds pitch with up to 131% more tuning stability than traditional strings. Bend hard, dig in, drop-tune — these strings keep their composure.
The wound strings also get a frequency boost in the 1–3.5 kHz range, which translates to more bite and presence when you need your riffs to cut through a dense mix. Combine that with the reformulated nickel plating’s stronger magnetic output, and you’re getting a genuinely louder, punchier pickup response — not just a marketing claim.
- Made in New York from D’Addario’s exclusive high-carbon steel alloy
- Up to 131% greater tuning stability over standard nickel wound strings
- Enhanced midrange output (1-3.5 kHz) for extra crunch and cut
- Optimized gauges for C tuning or heavier setups: .012/.016/.020 plain, .034/.046/.060 wound
- Corrosion-resistant packaging keeps strings fresh until you’re ready to install
Swap out that fatigued set and feel the difference immediately — stronger sustain, faster tuning, and a low end that actually growls.
