Description
The D'Addario NYXL0940BT Super Light Balanced Tension electric guitar strings provide an unprecedented level of performance for musicians seeking cutting-edge gear. Envisioned and built in New York, these newly engineered strings boast a break-resistant, high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy that delivers peerless tuning stability, dynamic control, and output. The reformulated nickel windings have enhanced magnetic properties for fuller mids, greater sustain, and high-definition tone. Whether you're shredding solos, crunching power chords, or playing articulate riffs, NYXL0940BT strings will transform your ax into a powerhouse of sound. These revolutionary strings that bend further, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any you've played before.
Unparalleled Strength and Tuning Stability
NYXL0940BT strings utilize an exclusive high-carbon steel core wire and Fusion Twist plain steel alloy for greater tuning stability under heavy playing styles and alternate tunings. The steel core provides maximum tensile strength to resist breakage, even when aggressively bending notes or using a tremolo system. Players can unleash their creativity without fear of string failure.
Enhanced Output and Articulation
NYXL0940BT strings feature nickel windings redesigned for fuller mids, improved note separation, and a subtle high-end boost that cuts through the mix. The reformulated nickel plating has greater magnetic properties for higher output, resulting in a modern tone with exceptional clarity and definition. Each note rings out with bell-like quality and piano-like sustain.
Balanced Tension for Consistent Feel
NYXL0940BT is a balanced tension set with gauges of .009, .012, .015, .022, .030 and .040. The balanced tension provides an even, consistent feel between strings for smooth playability across all frets. Whether you're strumming full chords, picking winding leads, or executing wide interval bends, these strings offer dynamic control and responsiveness. The versatile gauge set works for standard tuning as well as lower tunings.
Premium Components and Unmatched Quality
Like all D'Addario products, NYXL0940BT strings are built with premium, carefully sourced components and stringent quality controls. Made in the USA to the highest standards, these strings deliver a peerless playing experience with longevity that maximizes value. For strings that transform your tone and feel, choose NYXL.

9-40 gauge are ight but not as light as Xtra lights and work really well. On Some guitars I use 9-42.
I recommend these strings.
