Description
D’Addario’s NYXL series was engineered to solve the classic complaints guitarists have with standard nickel-wound strings: dull tone, quick pitch slippage, and breakage under aggressive playing. The NYXL0980 set brings that engineering to 8-string setups, covering a Super Light .009-.080 gauge spread.
- High-carbon steel core strings undergo a proprietary fusion twist process, which bonds the wrap wire more tightly to the core for improved tuning stability and resistance to breakage.
- The nickel plating formula used on the wound strings has been reworked to boost magnetic output, translating into a hotter signal and a fuller, more pronounced midrange when picked up by your pickups.
- Added output helps notes cut through denser mixes and drop-tuned riffs typical of extended-range 8-string playing, while low string tension keeps bends and vibrato comfortable.
- Consistent core-to-wrap bonding means less friction at the nut and bridge, so strings settle in and hold pitch faster after installation.
Whether you’re upgrading a factory-strung 8-string or replacing worn strings on your main rig, NYXL0980 gives you a set built to handle heavier gauges and aggressive attack without sacrificing tone or reliability. If you’ve been unconvinced by other nickel-wound strings, D’Addario invites you to put NYXL to the test.
