D'Addario Adds 4 New Sets For Extended Range Guitars To Award Winning NYXL Line - Available July 1, 2015

D'Addario & Company, Inc., a global leader in the design, manufacturing and distribution of musical instrument accessories, is thrilled to announce 4 new "extended range" 7-string and 8-string sets to their strongest guitar string line ever, NYXL.

On July 1, 2015, these additions will make 19 NYXL sets available for purchase, now including the 7-string 10-59 and 11-64, and 8-string 10-74 and 9-80.

NYXL guitar strings bend further, sing louder, and stay in tune better than any string you've played before. Envisioned, perfected, and manufactured by D'Addario in New York, this newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy delivers a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power. NYXL's provide more strength, and up to 131% greater tuning stability when compared to traditional nickel wound sets. The reformulated nickel-plated steel alloy have greater magnetic properties, resulting in higher output and enhanced mid-range frequency response, modernizing the overall tone without losing that well-loved nickel-plated steel feel.

The NYXL took home the 2014 Summer NAMM "Best In Show" award, the 2015 MIPA award for "Best Innovative Product," and most recently, the Musikmesse/Prolight + Sound International Press Award for Best Guitar Accessories. In addition to its accolades and acknowledgments among the music product industry, the NYXL line has received raves from the guitar playing community at large: Richard Fortus of Guns N' Roses says NYXL is "the best electric string I have come across. They not only hold up to my on-stage brutality, but they're louder and more articulate" and Wayne Krantz sums it up simply: "Louder, clearer, longer-lasting."

D'Addario & Company, Inc. is the world's largest manufacturer of musical instrument accessories marketed under several product divisions: D'Addario Fretted and Orchestral Strings, Evans Drumheads, Promark Drumsticks, Puresound, D'Addario Woodwinds, and D'Addario/Planet Waves Accessories.
