The D’Addario NYXL0838 Extra Super Light Electric Guitar Strings are engineered to provide guitarists unparalleled performance and tone. The NYXL Nickel Wound Extra Super Light strings are designed with an ultra-flexible 08-38 gauge range ideal for shredding and lead playing.

Breakthrough Technology Provides Superior Durability and Intonation

D’Addario’s NYXL strings utilize an innovative and proprietary tin-plating process that provides up to 131% greater tuning stability and string life compared to traditional strings. The high-carbon NYXL cores and plain steel alloy deliver enhanced string-to-string balance and consistency. Combined with reformulated nickel-plated windings, NYXL strings produce a powerful tone with rich overtones, outstanding clarity and punch.

Ergonomic Gauge for Fast, Fluid Playing

The NYXL0838 set features an 08-38 gauge range optimized for fast, fluid lead playing and shredding. The ultra-light top strings provide maximum flexibility and speed, while the heavier bottom strings produce a firm, solid bass tone. This balanced tension results in a slinky, ergonomic feel that facilitates intricate solos, wide bends and complex chording.

Premium Materials and Construction

Like all D’Addario strings, NYXLs are designed and manufactured in New York using the highest quality materials and stringent quality controls. NYXL strings feature high-carbon steel cores and plain steel alloy wrapped with nickel-plated steel. This combination of premium materials and innovative engineering provides guitarists a new level of freedom, confidence and power.
