D'Addario NYS020 Single Guitar String

D'Addario NYS020 Single Plain Steel Guitar String

This .020" gauge replacement string is designed for electric guitar and features nickel-plated steel construction as part of the NYXL Plain Steel Singles line. Manufactured from D'Addario's proprietary high-carbon steel alloy, it provides greater break strength and enhanced tuning stability compared to standard plain steel strings. The NYS020 is ideal for replacing a broken string or for players who want to customize their string gauge setup. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility, this single string delivers the bright, clear tone and responsive feel that NYXL strings are known for.

Who Is It For

This .020" gauge string is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a reliable replacement in the D string position on standard tuning sets. It works perfectly for players who break a string mid-session and need a quick replacement without buying a full set. Guitarists who want to customize their string gauges will also find this format useful — for example, combining a heavier .020" D string with lighter or heavier strings in other positions. The nickel-plated steel construction delivers a bright, articulate tone suited for rock, blues, country, and pop styles. As a single string from the NYXL line, the NYS020 carries the same manufacturing standards as full NYXL sets, making it a dependable choice for any player who needs a .020" replacement.
