D'Addario NYNW054 Single Guitar String

NYXL Nickel Wound .054 Single String for Electric Guitar

The D'Addario NYXL Nickel Wound .054 is a single electric guitar string designed as a replacement or as a building block for a custom string set. Part of the NYXL series, it uses reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire wound over a hex core, giving it higher output and greater midrange frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range than traditional nickel wound strings. The .054 gauge works well as a low E or A string in standard tuning, or as a heavier string in drop tunings where players want a fuller low end without going to extreme gauges. Round wound construction delivers a bright, articulate tone with the textured feel that most rock, blues, and metal players prefer under their fingers.

Who This String Is For

The NYXL Nickel Wound .054 is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a single replacement string at the .054 gauge without buying a full set. It suits players who tune to drop D or lower alternate tunings and want a thick, stable low string that holds tuning through heavy playing. Custom set builders will appreciate having access to this specific gauge to mix and match with other NYXL singles for a personalized tension and tone profile. The enhanced midrange response makes it a good match for players running humbuckers or active pickups who want more crunch and presence cutting through a band mix. All D'Addario strings are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA.
