I love the strings

I love the strings,,NYNW. And NYXL for my Steel guitars, extended E9. .014-.o68..

Very nice strings, I like the tone and staying in tune on my Duesenberg PF lap steel.
Problem with the 3rd, 0.026 (G) string however . It sometimes breaks when using the string bender, so far 3 in the last 2 months playing the guitar every day. 0.026 is the one recommended by Duesenberg.
I’ve checked the set up etc which seems fine. Changed to a 0.028 and so far so good, so either the 0.026 is not for a string bender or it’s something else. a luthier will need to check the guitar if the 0.028 breaks.

Excellent strings!

Great

Great price

I normally love D’Addario strings

I love D’Addario strings. But once you go so thick on the gauges, it can be detrimental. I bought a few .096 gauge strings and every one of them snapped before I could tune the string. Not tuning it higher than it’s supposed to be (because that is very thick) but before the string could even play a note. If you have the string in your hand and just bend it a little, instead of giving, it’ll snap right in your hands. I do not recommend this gauge.

I play the Gilmour part in a Pink Floyd tribute project and have been using NYXL's for years now. They are the best strings I have ever used and I am in my 70's. Finally I found strings that actually never break and you know that Gilmour's playing has lots of bending.... up to two full steps! What a relief!
