D'Addario NYNW044 Single Guitar String

NYXL .044 Single String — Enhanced Mid-Range for Electric Guitar

The D'Addario NYXL .044 is a single nickel-plated steel wound string designed for electric guitar. Part of the NYXL series, it uses a reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire with a round-wound construction that delivers enhanced mid-range frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range, giving players more presence and crunch to cut through a mix. Compared to traditional nickel wound strings, the NYXL formulation offers improved tuning stability, so the guitar gets in tune faster and stays in tune better. This .044 gauge works perfectly as a replacement for a broken or worn string, or for players who want to piece together their own custom gauge set from individual singles.

Round-wound strings provide a bright, articulate tone with excellent sustain, making them versatile across genres from clean rhythm work to aggressive lead playing.
