D'Addario NYNW056 Single Guitar String

NYXL Single String Replacement for Electric Guitar

The D'Addario NYXL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Single String in .056 gauge is part of the enhanced NYXL string series, designed as a standalone replacement string or as a building block for custom sets. Reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire gives this string improved magnetic properties, producing higher output and greater mid-range frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range. The round-wound construction with a hex core delivers more presence and crunch to cut through a dense mix, while improved tuning stability helps the guitar get in tune faster and stay in tune better compared to traditional nickel wound strings. All D'Addario strings are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at the company's New York production facility.

Who It's For

The D'Addario NYXL .056 single string is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a reliable low-end replacement string with brighter tone and stronger tuning stability. It suits rock, blues, and metal players who want more crunch and presence from their wound strings, and it works well for anyone building a custom gauge set or replacing a worn-out .056 without buying a full pack. The hex core and reformulated wrap wire also make it a solid match for players who bend aggressively and need a string that holds up under heavy playing.
