Description
The NYXL1149 set brings D’Addario’s high-carbon steel core technology to a medium gauge, giving players who like moderate string tension a full, beefy tone without sacrificing playability. Gauges run .011, .014, .018 plain steel and .028, .038, .049 nickel wound, striking a balance between comfortable bending and thick, authoritative low end.
Engineered and manufactured in New York, NYXL strings represent a rethink of traditional string construction. D’Addario’s reinvented wire drawing process, paired with a proprietary fusion twist technique for the plain steel strings, pushes break resistance and tuning stability up to 131% beyond conventional strings. That means less time retuning between songs and more confidence when you dig in for aggressive bends and drop tunings.
The wound strings get a reformulated nickel plating that boosts magnetic output, sharpening the mid-range response in the 1-3.5 kHz range. The result is extra presence and crunch that helps your guitar cut through a dense mix, whether you’re tracking in the studio or holding your own on a loud stage.

- Medium gauge set: Plain Steel .011/.014/.018, Nickel Wound .028/.038/.049

If your playing calls for moderate tension with a fuller voice, NYXL1149 delivers the strength, stability, and tone that have made D’Addario’s NYXL line a favorite among working guitarists.
