D’Addario NYXL 10–46 strings are our premium electric set engineered for next-level performance. With a high-tensile NY Steel core and fusion twist winding, these nickel-plated steel strings bend farther, stay in tune longer, and break less often. They deliver a pronounced midrange boost and strong output, so your chords cut through the mix and leads sustain beautifully. In short, NYXL strings give your guitar extra presence and power without sacrificing clarity. In playability, you’ll feel the difference right away: they can be bent two whole steps higher before feeling too tight, and thanks to their added strength and tuning stability (up to 131% better), they handle aggressive playing with confidence. The 10–46 gauge remains comfortably balanced, making it easy to switch between rhythm and lead work. Made in the USA and built to last, NYXL1046 is ideal for players who demand bright, potent tone and rock-solid reliability. Gauges: E4 .010, B3 .013, G3 .017, D3 .026, A2 .036, E2 .046.
