D'Addario NYXL1046BT Balanced Tension Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 10-46

The D'Addario NYXL1046BT Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings have been engineered to produce balanced tension across all strings. These premium electric guitar strings provide an ideal playing experience. The NYXL1046BT strings are constructed with D'Addario's revolutionary NYXL nickel-plated steel wrap wire around a hexagonal core. This combination results in strings with unparalleled durability, consistency and tone. The NYXL1046BT set provides a familiar 10-46 gauge range favored by players of all genres.

Balanced Tension Provides Comfort and Playability

The NYXL1046BT strings are tension balanced to +/- 10%, providing even pressure across the fretboard. This balance makes bends, finger vibrato and complex chords comfortable and responsive. The strings have a smooth, polished surface and bend evenly without pinging. Guitarists will appreciate how the balanced tension allows for faster, more articulate playing.

Premium NYXL Wrap Wire Boosts Tone and Lifespan

The NYXL1046BT strings feature D'Addario's innovative NYXL nickel-plated steel wrap wire, while the high-carbon steel core wire makes them up to 40% stronger. The added strength means less breakage, reduced tuning instability and longer string life. NYXL wrap wire also enhances harmonic content and produces a rich, bold tone with clear, articulate highs.

Hexagonal Core Offers Unmatched Tuning Stability

At the heart of the NYXL1046BT strings is a hexagonal core wire. The hex core's shape grips the wrap wire tightly, reducing slippage and keeping each string securely in tune. Players will appreciate how the NYXL1046BT strings hold their pitch even during aggressive techniques, like heavy bends, double stops and string stretching. The combination of NYXL wrap wire and a hex core results in strings with superior tuning stability and tonal clarity.

Familiar and Versatile 10-46 Gauge

For guitarists seeking a familiar, versatile set of electric strings, the NYXL1046BT 10-46 gauge is ideal. The 10-46 range works well for styles like rock, blues, jazz and pop. The NYXL1046BT set provides a balanced feel and rich, full tone that complements the sonic qualities of many standard scale electric guitars.
