The D'Addario NW056 is a single .056 gauge string from the XL Nickel Wound series — one of the most widely used electric guitar string lines around. Whether you snapped a low string mid-session or you're dialing in a custom gauge set for a 7-string or alternate tuning, this is a straightforward way to get back up and running without buying a whole pack.
The XL series is precision wound with nickel-plated steel over a hexagonally shaped, high-carbon steel core. That hex core helps the winding grip tightly and evenly, which translates to consistent tone and solid intonation. These strings are made in the USA at D'Addario's New York facility, where every step of production — drawing, plating, winding, and packaging — is handled in-house.
