I like the response of these strings to bending - they seem to give more pitch bend per force than other strings.

NYXL - nice bends

I like the response of these strings to bending - they seem to give more pitch bend per force than other strings.
While the NYXL1046 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar String Set from D'Addario offers an unparalleled experience for guitarists seeking both comfort and exceptional electric tone, it's the meticulous engineering behind these strings that sets them apart. Crafted with a high carbon steel core, these strings boast a significantly higher break strength, ensuring that your music-making sessions are uninterrupted by frequent string changes. The enhanced tuning stability means less time tuning and more time playing, while the accentuated mid-range frequency response enriches your guitar's voice with a full-bodied presence.
D'Addario's commitment to craftsmanship is evident in the NYXL electric guitar strings, designed to bend farther and project a louder sound, all while maintaining pitch better than any other strings on the market. These strings are the result of a perfected manufacturing process, taking place in D'Addario's New York facilities, where precision-engineering meets high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy for a new level of playing freedom, confidence, and power.
The extraordinary sounds produced by these strings are a testament to D'Addario's exacting standards. The company's in-house wire drawing machines create musical instrument wire that meets precise specifications, ensuring control over the material and equipment that contributes to the high performance of their products. The string winding technology, developed by D'Addario's engineering team, allows for an impressive production capacity, while digitally-controlled machines guarantee accuracy and consistency across every string produced.
At the heart of the NYXL1046's stability is the hex core construction. D'Addario's pioneering precision-drawn hexagonal core ensures that the wrap wire grips tightly, providing superior dimensional stability, enhanced durability, and precise intonation. Known as NY Steel, this high carbon steel is processed in D'Addario's exclusive wire facility in Farmingdale, New York, utilizing advanced machinery and processes. The result is a string that stands up to the rigors of frequent use without sacrificing performance, making the NYXL1046 set a reliable choice for electric guitarists who demand durability and high-quality sound.
