The D'Addario NYXL0942 is a set of nickel wound electric guitar strings in a super light 9-42 gauge — a go-to choice for players who want easy bending and comfortable playability on a standard-tuned electric. The set includes three plain steel strings (.009, .011, .016) and three nickel wound strings (.024, .032, .042).
What sets the NYXL series apart starts with the core: D'Addario draws their own high-carbon steel wire in-house at their Farmingdale, New York facility. The precision hexagonal core lets the nickel-plated wrap wire grip tightly, which helps with intonation accuracy and dimensional consistency. A "fusion twist" at the ball end of the plain steel strings contributes to the series' claimed 131% improvement in tuning stability over traditional nickel wound strings. The reformulated nickel-plated windings also carry enhanced magnetic properties, which translates to a noticeable bump in midrange output in the 1–3.5 kHz range. Each set comes in corrosion-resistant, environmentally friendly packaging to keep strings fresh until you're ready to play.
