The D'Addario NYXL1052 is a powerhouse hybrid set, combining the flexible, easy-bending feel of regular light (.010) high strings with the substantial, powerful tension of heavier (.052) low strings. This combination is a favorite for guitarists who want the best of both worlds: expressive leads and comfortable bending on top, paired with tight, articulate, and resonant low-end for heavy rhythm work and chording. Engineered with D'Addario’s proprietary high-carbon NY Steel core and reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap, these strings provide unmatched break strength, industry-leading tuning stability (thanks to "Fusion Twist" technology), and a boosted mid-range (1–3.5 kHz) that delivers maximum presence and crunch. Proudly made in New York, USA.
