D'Addario NYXL0942 Nickel Wound, Super Light, 09-42

D'Addario NYXL0942 — Super Light Electric Guitar Strings

The NYXL0942 set is built for guitarists who demand more from their strings — more sustain, more reliable tuning, and more confident bends. Envisioned and manufactured entirely by D'Addario in New York, these strings combine materials engineering with real-world playability for stage and studio use.

Key Features

• Super light gauge set: .009 .011 .016 .024 .032 .042
• Break-resistant high-carbon steel core for added strength
• Revolutionary "fusion twist" process applied to plain steel strings
• Completely reinvented wire drawing process for superior durability
• Reformulated nickel plated windings with greater magnetic properties
• Up to 131% greater tuning stability versus conventional strings
• Enhanced mid-range frequency response for added presence and crunch

Ideal For

The NYXL0942 strings suit players working in standard or half-step-down tuning who rely on aggressive bends and dynamic picking. The light tension makes fretting comfortable over long sets, while the tuning stability holds up through heavy playing and temperature changes — a reliable choice for gigging guitarists and recording sessions alike.
