I just barely tolerate that system in a six string set, but for a set of ten pedal steel strings it would be a deal breaker. Email SteelGuitarForum@gmail.com for technical support. Share. Anyone else relate. I paid close to $28 for one set after adding almost $8 for the 2 extra strings and shipping. I get 3-4 gigs from one set on average.

I've been using them for about two months now and am quite impressed with them - I have used the heavier "PF" Nickel gauges for several years now, but have found the NYXL's to be outstanding for tone and feel, and very smooth under the bar.

Everyone is different, but personally, I just feel they are not shimmering tonally and once I feel any fret wear under the wound strings - particularly the D string. I put a set of these on Sept. 21st 2017. The first thing I thought of, was WHY can’t D’’ADDARIO do this? Thank you for your support! Neither bright as pure steel nor as lo-fi as pure nickel, the NYXL strings balance a full, present and unaffected EQ with just enough warmth to lend character. I juts don't want the strings I currently have to go to waste, so I'm using them up before trying some NYXL's. I was the guy giving them out in Dallas, and thanks to all who stopped by the booth to get their two free sets of NYXL strings...and extra thanks to Mike Sweeney for hauling the remainders back to Nashville! I tried three sets of the strings but had to learn the color code system. Comments. They work for me. Every player should try them at least once. Our tone and intonation is … The NYXL's are impressive, weird how they need almost no streching at all to set. D’Addario NYXLs are the best strings made right now, and the best I’ve ever used. I put nyxl 10-50 BT on my LP custom a few weeks back. Imagine trying to figure that out on a dark stage. Incredible tuning stability and exceptionally long lasting. No envelopes, no buy.

D’Addario NYXL Electric Guitar Strings Review. Like Bill I was given a set @ the Dallas Show the jury is still out on them and in regards to the color coding I don't have a problem with it but there are color blinded people that paly and I see it would create a problem for them. D'Addario NYXL Strings Review Strings are a very personal thing. I've been playing guitar for 37 years now; most of that time primarily on D'Addario XL strings. Powered by Just not my thing. It was nice to meet you all and hear so many great players. I've tried XL Nickels on a few occasions. They are good strings but I think Fatbeams were created by bass gods. I’m definitely not a fan of the color coded ball ends. I use them on my ESP Jazz and they don't seem to die at all - they just get better. I've never heard that - strings create more fret wear after they age, or am I understanding it wrong? All I’ve been using since I first discovered them a year or two ago. Too cool. I have favored 10's since I was in my late teens and have tried many other brands large and small, different gauges over the years but in the last 10 years or so just primarily XL's in the balanced tension 10-48 on all my electric guitars - 24.5" scale, 25" scale and 25.5" scale. In some circumstances that would be very beneficial and quite a few players use them in the studio for that very reason. Overall, balanced tension makes sense to me both in theory - and there's a lot of content to review 'out there' on that matter - and in practice. Just got home a few days ago.
