"Welcome to the next generation of electric guitar strings.
These strings have been re-engineered from the ball end up. The result is something you'll have to hear to believe. With 6% more magnetic permeability for higher output in the 2-5 kHZ range, they have more punch, crunch, and bite. They'll bend farther, sing louder, and stay in tune better, because they are the strongest electric guitar strings ever made."

The difference is noticeable to me. It's just more of everything. Louder, punchier, more clear on the highs. The difference is clear to me both with your clean and distorted tones. Nice playing
Stopped by to hear about these strings and totally fell in love with the demonstrator. Such sweet playing and such a kind spirit. Rock on, man.* *Subbed* *
Awesome playing and a very imformative review. Was thinking about this brand anyway and now I think I will try these thanks to your review. Thanks for the post.
Man that is a beautiful guitar you got there my friend.Thanks for the upload im about to get a pair of these for my les paul
Great playing, tone and review
The NYXL's has more clarity to me, especially when playing chords with distortion.
I've noticed this a lot recently. Also.... playing low gain (plexi style) shows longer sustain for the tube amp sag. I love these.
Great video. I absolutely adore these guitar strings. I put a set on 2 different guitars about a week ago and they have not gone out of tune over the past week at all. I'm thinking about doing a review video on just the guitar strings and I can show how they compare to the sag of a moderate gain tube amp compared to what my other guitar has which is not Nyxl.
Hi Mark, Love all of your reviews please keep them coming. I think these will be worth a try, I have not seen these yet in my neck of the woods in Northern Ohio, USA.
I'm watching this after I've tried these strings finally. I myself have played D'addario for 25 years, and am making the switch to the NYXL's, but first need to use up, and unload about 120 new sets of the regular XL's. The NYXL is the best new string I've played, and the clarity between strings, and the fact they hold tune better was a no brainier for me
I got 3 sets of these yesterday and I played them on a stray style guitar and I feel like on a clean channel they were quite mellow for chords. but they were noticeably brighter with gain, overall they're well gid no gonnae lie. think I'm gonnae stick to these for a while
Definitely brighter, more presence, better bends, louder sustain.
Sounds great!!!
Definitely brighter. I just got the 9 46's. I say try these if you play solo's and want the high to shine. But the normal XL's have a darker tone that great for rhythm and deep tones. Both are great strings imo. I prefer the nyxl strings myself though. I prefer high tones. Thanks for comparison! The nyxl's sound great clean! I think the harmonics resonate better as well!
Just bought a set of 10s (10-52) and boy do they sing! Playing with them clean is just great. And their sound through distortion is so pronounced yet thick at the same time. Just wow.
Just bought that gauge for a partscaster. I'll be playing Eb instead of standard
I love the sound of new strings. Especially after a month or two they get dull then you replace it and your guitar thanks you lol
Great video,I agree that the strings
Seem to ring out more.
I am going to buy them.
Thank you.
god that suhr looks beautiful
LOVE that guitar
is there a new set up required for a floating tremolo using same gauge as the XL's due to the tension difference?
Thanks for the informative video.I was breaking a lot of high E and B strings...My bridge needed to be buffed out....anyway I decided to try the 10-46 NYXL's since they are advertised as stronger. It seems like I'm the only one...but they feel much stiffer to me ...more like 11 gauge....they are definitely harder to bend...and I bend as much as Albert king.
The regular daddario 10-46...I've used them for many years and I can play for hours...these start to hurt my hands in 15 minutes. My tech guy said try the NYXL 9.5 strings....Even to manufacture such a gauge means the designer is aware that if you are used to 10's and have some reason to double your string cost....you are going to need to step down the gauge if you want the comfort of 10's. I have not seen anything but positive reviews.......the only one who agreed with me is the tech who put them on at my request.....Anyone else notice the increased stiffness and significant difficulty in bending compared to the old 10's?
Nice demo
Do these rust easily? I live in a humid area and D'Addarios always rust 3 days after playing, while Ernie Balls never rusted on me. Still D'addario for me has the best string feel out of most of 'em and I really wanna upgrade to the NYXL instead the usuals.
Thanks so much for a great melodic demo and thanks for not shredding.. shredding seems as if its a habit of all players these days.
Sounds a little brighter & punchier to me !!! 👍🎸🎼🤙
Do they have that frou-frou (mush) sort of noise when you move your fingers in a slide movement?
thats usually the case with D'addarios.
Party on, Wayne!
Nice playing man!
The NYXL sounds kinda warmer to me. The difference was more noticeable on the bridge pickup.
Pretty impressive, a brighter sound and much more pronounced.
I just picked up a pair of 11's to try out, and was interested in what people thought of them before I strung them up.
Eric Durant Niceone, lemme know what you think once you've tried them out in person.
+Eric Durant Remember he is comparing old strings to new strings. The old strings may have sounded just as bright when they where first put on.
+MrKellii He specifically said they weren't "old by any means".
+The Chad Pad. Sorry, I misheard him.
hi will u recommend Ernie ball m steels or nyxl , or regular nickel wounds or rps or slinky , cobalt , titanium etc.
Great Video thanx....
All these comments got me jealous!!! I love my acoustic but I wish I could pick up a hollow body or a fender strat and just go at it.
nice guitar
love that guitar mate, mind me asking what how much hard earned?
I like elixers for my acoustics and Floyd Rose guitars but for my 7 string I use Ernie ball hybrid Slinkys. For my vintage garbage I use nyxl tho lol I kinda find them to feel weird tho. recently got 9-42 for a 6 string.
What is that you've got on the Headstock ? ,, What is your Axe plugged into .are you using any pedals at all ..or is ur set up strictly void of pedals ??
I just got a pack of the same ones you’re showing and gonna try them out
Sweet, lemme know how you get on
mastertheguitar Forsure! Your playing is amazing by the way ✌🏼♥️🤘🏼
5:15 what is that tone ?
I love it
MASTERTHEGUITAR, after 7 years of using the NYXL have your broken any string or common strings breakage issues?
Honestly my only issue with all these new string is that there made to be bright and im know they never make them flatwound and on these nyxl your using the mid notes sound warmer but i feel the high and lower notes are brighter its not my sound but it is interesting to hear these new strings
Yeah they sound different I like them though I love different sounds though. I like some unusual music and weird chords. I think they are super nice sounding but everyone has their preference. I'd try them out because nothing in s video is the same live.
Which do you prefer for high gain ? Basswood or mahoGany?
nice axe and playing....
Love the NYXL pick'um up try them......much better i think.
Settings for clean tone ?
I'm a new player and very confused about what strings to get. I like to play metal riffs and currently use Ernie Balls Super Slinky 9-46. Would you prefer D'Addario 10-52 or Elixir 19077 10-52?
String brand is very much a personal choice, most people settling on a string maker that ‘works’ for them :) When I first started I tried them all pretty much and finally settled on D’Addario and have used them ever since on my electric guitars, preferring NYXLs these days. Gauge wise if you’re playing metal you might indeed prefer a gauge that has chunkier bass strings likes 10-52s for more solid feeling riff picking but the step up from 9-46 might be too great. You can get hybrid sets that have lighter strings on top and heavy on the bottom you could try first. Things like fixed bridge vs trem guitars also factor in how the strings feel. For the record I use both 10-52 and 10-46 gauges :) HTH
@@mastertheguitar thanks mate. I'll give them all a go and see which ones I like most. For the price I'm pretty happy with Ernie Ball. I've only been playing for a week and learning on my own. My mission is to learn how to play before I go blind again. (diabetic) 👍🏼
The NYXL's were much brighter.
I feel like the nyxl are so much better far like clean. Like blues or smooth rock and the others are better for harder rock I don't know I saw these strings and wanted to look them up thinking they'd be acoustic strings but unfortunately they're not. I love electric but I play acoustic. But I like them very smooth sounding.
I like the packaging.
Did u get another suhr? Does the NYXL strings sound better than the exl strings?
I've got two Suhrs, Pro Series S3 I got back in 2008 and the blue custom Modern in this video which I got in 2012. Awesome guitars.
I only use NYXLs on my electrics now, I restrung with a pack of EXLs I had and just couldn't get on with them anymore! Just didn't feel as smooth on bends or under the fingers. Sound wise there's not a huge difference between the two, but I guess I'm used to and prefer the sound of NYXLs as well. Was weird seeing as I had played EXLs for decades. The NYXLs last much longer for me so on the long run it's probably saving me money.
How long does the nyxl last? Are both suhr basswood?
I'm finding I don't need to restring for months, current set on my Strat has been on there for nearly 6 months (and several gigs)! hah! Didn't realise :) I used to restring a lot as well. Of course it's depends on finger calluses, sweat etc. so everyone is different but on the whole they definitely have a longer lifespan IMO.
Regarding the Suers, the red one is Basswood with a maple cap and the blue, Mahogany with maple cap. HTH.
dross, vloguero y guitarrista..
jajajajj
Hi, would 11 - 56 be a good gauge if i play in d/drop c?
Yeah have a play around on stringtensionpro.com but for something that would feel a little like 10s in that tuning 11-56 would do the job
Hmmm NYXL's sounded less bright actually to me. More rich and warm tone and i like smth very bright.
I was thinking to get a pack but now i kinda changed mind :/
You use 10-46 right? I cant see it clearly on the thumbnail
Yeah 10-46 in this video, and what I typically use, though I also have a set of 10-52s on another guitar.
You from Glasgow or Edinburgh ???????
guitar noob here what's it called when he does the thing 3:00, where he's muting the note
They're Natural Harmonics played at the 7th and 12th frets :)
Hi egoraptor
Are they good for drop tunings like drop A
Disgorged Intestines the 12-60 set will definitely work, unless you're talking about a seven string
does anyone know if these strings come with bullet ends?
+Juan Salazar Not that I know of, comes with standard coloured D'Addario ball ends.
+mastertheguitar thanks m8. I appreciate the feedback.
how did they feel a week or so later?
Check out the channel I did a follow up video after a while of using them :)
They do sound better
after watching this video i thought it would be nice to change from cobalt to this set of strings coz cobalt have too much of treble than needed but after trying them,i feel like i wasted my money.they are strong n easier to play but tone wise cobalt is much brighter n punchier.i dont buy strings that last longer,i buy strings that gives me good tone.they reminds me of elixir strings which last forever but fails to bring up the tone.i will never buy any product again if it sounds too good to be true
+Pranesh Rai it's been a very long time since I tried a set of Elixirs but as far as I can remember the NYXLs seem brighter to me and are bright enough for my needs.
There are many personal factors when choosing strings as well as many factors affecting 'tone' the path from hitting a string to the sound you hear has many variables. As such one set/brand works for one person but not the next. Best thing to do is to try and see :)
NYXL is way more clean sounding more powerful in my opinion
What's that black thing you have on the neck?
A wee string dampener/mute from Gruv Gear. Handy for recording/live playing.
Randy Leon you can use a large hair tie too about a £1 a packet :)
I got the 12-60 ones and they sound horrible on my les paul for some reason :/
acidbath32 Yeah my point was to tune it down. All the strings sound great except the low E string, tried filing the nut and even change guitar but no luck.
I suggest you to use ernie ball on a gibson, it sounds better I think. Beefy slinky (11-54) are more confortable then not even slinky (12-56) since the G string is oversized with ernie ball.
How does it cope with corrosion?
Tobias Chan I've not had a set corrode at all BUT I've never had any set of strings do so for a very long time. Smooth finger calluses and less teenage sweat I guess ;)
Hi, if I have the NYXL 11-56 strings and I want to switch back to exl 11-56 strings...do I need to re setup the guitar? Re intonate etc? Any adjustments needed? Also what specs on that Suhr?
The NYXLs have a slightly lower tension than the EXLs so you'll most likely need to tweak things. The Suhr is a custom Modern, Mahogany body w/maple cap. Mahogany neck plus Pau Ferro board. SSH+ pickup in bridge and SSV in neck. HTH
which do you prefer nyxl or exl?
What brand axe is that?
It's a Suhr custom
What pick ups do you use?
Hey Man, my Suhr custom had stock Suhr pickups, SSH+ in bridge and a SSV in neck.
@@mastertheguitar thank you so much!😁
Do they rust easily?
Not at all IME, I get crazy longevity out of them and I used to change EXLs regularly. Though these days my calluses are well used and smooth ;) FTR I used to corrode strings a lot more when I was younger.
These strings sound too mellow
I was using them for a little while, great strings but recently went back to the standard Daddario's and kind of missed what I used to use. There nothing a guitarist can't achieve with the standard one's....
Save the extra cash.
strat cat71 Did you not find they lasted longer at all? I find a set lasts for ages and ages, but everyone’s fingers are different.
Nice hair
You sound like Allan Holdsworth. I miss that guy.
I'm trying them & you'll notice that they're too rigid. 9s feel like 10s. Bends are, in fact harder. Volume is better though.
The NYXL plain strings have slightly higher tension but in the order of micrograms and weirdly the wound strings have LESS tension than the standard XLs. They are more hard wearing (I think they wear frets down a little faster than standard strings) which may give that rigid feel. Of course everything is subjective :)
nyxl brighter
2:29 Beginning
Martin R. 8:47 end.
I killed these in 2 days just like the regular exl, they went black and rusty...not worth the double price for me...
How do you ruin a guitar's strings in just two days???? Do you sweat acid?
@@santiagoastolfi4243 by playing hard and a lot...
roto sound for me are best...
Stefan Bulatovic roto's carve my fingers up
To me the NYXLs have lower mids, not quite as bright.
*tongue click*
With all due respect; you needed to do this with A) fresh strings for BOTH sets - the test is 100% a scratch unless both sets are new and B) play the same EXACT stuff for both string sets.
The EXLs weren’t fresh from the packet but they were new strings, hardly played, that’s why I used them as they were suitable for comparison IMO. The playing examples were closely matched too.
Are you Irish?
+Endezeichen Grimm Scottish :)
ill stick with SIT power wounds.
He desperately tries to find advantages, the nyxl just have less highs and sounds duller...
Berta Griese I sure hope so.Less treble is always better.
If you have a 7 string I do not recommend these
I've used NYXL's for my 7 -string guitars for few months now and can honestly say that I prefer them over any other strings out there. They stay in tune way better and don't break so often which is useful in gigs/studio.
I can't deal with the lip smacking....🤮
LyleStyle87 mmm sooo tasty
@@mastertheguitar your licks are tasty bro and you show it 😂
I didn't like these strings at all. Just made me go and buy another set of Elixir Coated Electrics. They're 10000000 times better.
Everyone has their taste, I've never got on with Elixirs :)
Awesome playing and a very imformative review. Was thinking about this brand anyway and now I think I will try these thanks to your review. Thanks for the post.
