About Sam Fender
Sam Fender's Favorites
Bringing an indie sound to massive crowds, Sam knows you have to get every element of your sound just right.
When the NYXL range came out, it was a real game-changer. I always used to break strings, but NYXL would always withstand when I used to play my first shows in a rock band as a kid. I put the strings through their paces playing lead guitar, but they have always survived.
Sam doesn’t step on stage without the security of our strap locks. He’s got bigger things to worry about.
