About these strings
NYXL is D'Addario's premium uncoated string, and the difference from a standard set is in the steel. The core and the plain strings use what D'Addario calls NY Steel, a wire they rate for higher break strength and better tuning stability than their regular XLs. The wrap is a reformulated nickel-plated steel that pushes the mids forward, so chords have more presence and lead lines cut through.
They cost more than EXL110s. If you bend hard, use a tremolo, or hate retuning between songs, that's what the extra money buys. This is the 3-pack of 10-46 Regular Light.
