Experience the next generation of guitar strings with D’Addario’s NYXL1164, specifically engineered for 7-string players who demand both flexibility and a robust, full-bodied tone. These strings represent a complete reimagining of string technology, featuring larger gauges that provide moderate flexibility whilst maintaining the beefy sound that serious guitarists require.
Built with D’Addario’s exclusive New York-manufactured, high-carbon steel alloy core, NYXL strings offer unprecedented strength and break resistance. The revolutionary “fusion twist” process combined with a completely reinvented wire drawing technique results in up to 131% greater tuning stability compared to traditional strings. This means you’ll spend less time tuning and more time playing with confidence.
The reformulated nickel-plated windings feature enhanced magnetic properties that boost output levels and improve mid-range frequency response, particularly in the 1-3.5 kHz range. This translates to increased presence and crunch that cuts through any mix. The NYXL1164 set is optimised for 25.5” scale length guitars with gauges of .011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .049, and .064, and comes in environmentally friendly, corrosion-resistant packaging to ensure freshness.
