D'Addario NYNW043 Single Guitar String

D'Addario NYXL Nickel Wound .043 — Single Electric Guitar String

The D'Addario NYXL Nickel Wound .043 is a single replacement string for electric guitar, part of D'Addario's enhanced NYXL series. Built from reformulated nickel-plated steel with a round wound construction, it delivers enhanced mid-range frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range for more presence and crunch. Improved tuning stability over traditional nickel strings means players get in tune faster and stay in tune better. The .043 gauge works well as the G string on a standard 6-string electric guitar or for custom set building. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility.

Who Is It For

This single string is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a replacement string or want to build a custom gauge set. The .043 gauge works well as the G string on a standard 6-string electric guitar, or as part of a hybrid set for players who prefer a wound G over a plain string. The reformulated nickel-plated steel construction delivers higher output and greater midrange response, making it well-suited for rock, blues, and other genres where presence and crunch matter. It's also a good fit for players who want improved tuning stability and break resistance compared to standard nickel strings.
