The D'Addario NYXL1052 is a nickel wound electric guitar string set built around a hybrid gauge concept: lighter plain steel strings on top for easy bending, paired with heavier wound strings on the bottom for a fuller low end. The individual gauges are Plain Steel .010, .013, .017 and Nickel Wound .030, .042, .052.
The core of the NYXL line is D'Addario's high-carbon steel, manufactured at their own wire facility in Farmingdale, New York. That hex-shaped core gives the wound strings a secure grip on the wrap wire, which contributes to more consistent intonation and added dimensional stability. The reformulated nickel-plated windings are designed to have stronger magnetic properties, resulting in enhanced midrange frequency response — useful when you need to cut through a mix. Corrosion-resistant packaging keeps the strings fresh until you're ready to install them.
