D'Addario NYXL0980 Nickel Wound Super Light 09-80 8-String Electric Guitar Strings

General

While this pack of D'Addario NYXL 8-string electric guitar strings have a Super Light gauge, they also include two extra-low .060 and .080 gauged strings, so this set can support thick and heavy riff-work. More and more guitarists are waking up to the endless joy of extended-range eight-string guitars, which usually feature a longer scale length to guarantee improved string tension. Most of the time, this will be a 27 to 30 inch scale length, replacing the more classic 25.5 inch length of six-string models. In response, D'Addario has specifically designed these strings for eight-string models with a 30 inch scale length, so you're assured of even tension across the board and a light and flexible feel beneath your fingers, making tapping and bending techniques feel near-effortless.

The D'Addario NYXL Strings: Strength & Stability

Made in New York, D'Addario NYXL electric guitar strings are a mini-revolution in the guitar-sphere. An entirely new production process using high-carbon steel was even developed in their honour, which basically means that these strings are 20 to 40% stronger than strings with the same gauge, so they can handle far more stress without breaking and boast 131% better tuning stability - tune up once and let rip. Every set of NYXL strings comes sealed inside an environmentally friendly and corrosion resistant pack.
