D'Addario NYS0085 Single Guitar String

D'Addario NYS0085 Single Plain Steel String for Electric Guitar

Designed for electric guitar players who need a reliable high-register string without replacing an entire set, the D'Addario NYS0085 is a single replacement plain steel string from the NYXL series. Built around D'Addario's proprietary NY Steel alloy, this string delivers the tuning stability and strength the manufacturer highlights as defining features of the NYXL line. At a thin .0085" gauge, it fits the high E or B position on most standard electric guitar setups. The nickel-plated steel construction produces a bright, articulate tone that cuts through a mix, while the coated finish helps extend string life between changes. Whether replacing a broken high E or building a custom light-gauge set, this single string offers the precision and consistency that working musicians require.

Who Is This String For?

This single string is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a replacement high-register string without buying a full set. It's ideal for musicians who break strings frequently during performance and want a reliable .0085" gauge option that matches the NYXL series' tuning stability. Players building custom gauge sets will appreciate the availability of individual strings in the NYXL line. The coated finish makes it suitable for gigging musicians who want extended string life between changes. This string works perfectly as a high E or B replacement on standard electric guitars tuned to EADGBE.
