D'Addario NYNW060 Single Guitar String

NYXL Single String for Electric Guitar — Heavy .060" Replacement

The D'Addario NYNW060 NYXL Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Single String is a .060" gauge wound string designed as a drop-in replacement or building block for a custom set. Part of the NYXL series, it uses a reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire engineered for higher magnetic output and greater midrange frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range, giving the low end more presence and crunch to cut through a mix. The round-wound construction delivers the familiar bright attack and tactile feel players expect from a nickel electric string. Because it is sold as a single, it works equally well for replacing a broken low E, topping off a partial set, or assembling a personalized gauge combination that stock packs don't offer.

Who This String Is For

Electric guitar players who need a heavy-gauge wound string — typically the low E in standard tuning or the bottom string in drop tunings — will find the NYNW060 a practical single-string solution without buying a full replacement set. It suits rock, metal, and blues players who want a thick, present low end with the tuning stability NYXL strings are known for. The single-string format also appeals to players who mix and match gauges to fine-tune tension across the neck, or who simply need a quick replacement for a worn or broken low string. Designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility, this string fits any standard electric guitar.
