D’Addario NYXL1252W 12-52 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings – Light Wound

Bring Out The True Voice Of Your Guitar – The D’Addario NYXL1252W 12-52 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings – Light Wound

NYXL1252W features a wound 3rd/G string, offering more tension for drop tuning or a traditional jazz setup. D’Addario NYXL guitar strings will bend farther, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you’ve played before. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by D’Addario in New York, this newly engineered, break‑resistant, high‑carbon steel core and plain steel alloy deliver a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power. NYXLs provide more strength and up to 131% greater tuning stability by utilizing a completely reinvented wire‑drawing process coupled with a revolutionary “fusion twist” process for the plain steels. Reformulated nickel‑plated string windings have greater magnetic properties, resulting in higher output and enhanced mid‑range frequency response for more presence and crunch.

• NYXL’s feature D’Addario’s exclusive New York manufactured, high carbon steel alloy for unprecedented strength – play fearlessly
• Improved tuning stability compared to traditional nickel wound strings – get in tune faster, stay in tune better
• Wound strings with enhanced mid-range frequency response in the 1 – 3.5 kHz range – more presence and crunch to cut through the mix
• NYXL1252 offering a wound 3rd/G string for drop tune or traditional “jazz” setups: Plain Steel .012, .016, Nickel Wound .024, .032, .042, .052
• Environmentally friendly, corrosion resistant packaging for strings that are always fresh
