NYXL Strings
Stronger. Louder. Better.
Built for players who demand the most from their guitar or bass strings, NYXLs combine break-resistant NY steel with enhanced magnetic output and tuning stability so you can bend farther and stay in tune longer.
Why NYXL?
It doesn’t matter what, where, or how you play. Whether you’re onstage with a death metal tracks in the studio, NYXL guitar and bass strings are made to hold up and keep up.
| Feature | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| NY Steel Core | Stronger, more flexible, and far more break-resistant |
| Reformulated Wrap Wire | Higher output with increased volume and clarity |
| Fusion Twist | Improves tuning stability |
What Sets NYXL Apart
Unlike traditional nickel-plated steel strings, NYXLs use a reformulated alloy to push performance farther, without sacrificing that feel. You’ll notice the difference in both your tone and your tuning.
NYXL vs. The Rest
Not all strings are made the same. Here’s how NYXL stands apart:
| Feature | NYXL Stringsr | Standard Strings |
|---|---|---|
| Break Resistance | Up to 131% stronger | Moderate |
| Tuning Drift | Highly stable | Common after bends |
| Output | Enhanced midrange presence | Balanced |
