D'Addario NYNW058 Single Guitar String

D'Addario NYXL .058 Single Electric Guitar String

The D'Addario NYXL .058 is a single replacement electric guitar string designed for the low E position in standard tuning or for heavier custom sets. Made in the USA from reformulated nickel-plated steel wound over a hex core, it delivers higher output and a stronger midrange frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range compared to standard electric strings. This round-wound string is sold individually, making it ideal for replacing a broken or worn low E without buying a full set. Players can also combine singles to build a custom gauge set tailored to their tuning and playing style. The .058 gauge works well for standard E tuning, drop D, and other down-tuned configurations where a thick, stable low string is essential.
