D'Addario NYXL1156 Nickel Wound Electric Strings Medium Top/Extra Heavy Bottom (11-56)

Break free from the limitations of standard guitar strings with D’Addario’s NYXL1156 extreme hybrid set, specifically engineered for musicians who tune down a whole step to D tuning whilst maintaining the comfortable playing tension of regular light gauge strings. These revolutionary strings combine D’Addario’s exclusive New York-manufactured high carbon steel alloy with a completely reinvented wire drawing process, giving you unprecedented strength and the confidence to play fearlessly without worrying about breakage.

The innovative “fusion twist” process for plain steels provides up to 131% greater tuning stability compared to traditional nickel wound strings, meaning you’ll get in tune faster and stay there longer. The reformulated nickel plated windings feature enhanced magnetic properties that boost output levels and improve mid-range frequency response in the critical 1-3.5 kHz range, giving your guitar more presence and crunch to cut through any mix.

This optimised string set includes Plain Steel .011, .014, .019, and Nickel Wound .032, .044, .056 gauges, making it perfect for drop D tuning or players who simply prefer a heavier string setup. Each set comes in environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging that keeps your strings fresh until you’re ready to restring.
