D'Addario NYNW047 Single Guitar String

NYXL Single String for Electric Guitar — Enhanced Mid-Range and Tuning Stability

The D'Addario NYXL Nickel Wound .047 is a single replacement string designed for electric guitar, part of the enhanced NYXL series that reformulates the nickel-plated steel wrap wire for stronger magnetic response. Compared to traditional nickel wound strings, this .047 gauge delivers higher output and greater mid-range frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range, giving notes more presence and crunch to cut through a dense mix. Players who break a single string mid-gig or want to assemble a custom gauge set will find this NYXL single a direct drop-in replacement. It is engineered, designed, and manufactured in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility.

Who This String Is For

The NYXL Nickel Wound .047 is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a reliable replacement string or want to build a custom gauge set with enhanced mid-range punch. It suits rock, blues, and metal styles where cutting through the mix matters, and the reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap delivers improved tuning stability compared to traditional nickel strings. Players who bend aggressively or perform live will appreciate the string's ability to stay in tune longer. As a single replacement, it is also ideal for pedal steel and lap steel players who need specific odd gauges that standard sets don't include.
