D'Addario NYXL1260 Nickel Wound Extra Heavy Electric Guitar Strings 12-60

General

Specially calibrated to support ultra-low C-tuning, the D'Addario NYXL1260 strings are any metal guitarists dream. Bands like Arch Enemy and System of a Down often tune all the way down to C, and even Hendrix dabbled with the low-C tuning on Hear My Train A' Comin. While experimenting with different tunings can break playing habits and inspire a new approach, if you're working with a set of lower-gauged strings, then you're likely to be fighting with loose and sloppy string tension and horrible fret buzz. As such, D'Addario have made sure that this Extra Heavy pack retains a tight feel as well as thick, forceful tone.
