Inspired by the steel strings used to stabilize and secure bridges, D'Addario decided to improve on the materials that they use in strings. And so they came up with their "New York" line of strings, which the NYXL0942 is part of.

Thanks to its high carbon steel core, this set is designed to be more durable, while still retaining a thin gauge.

They also feature reformulated nickel plated windings which improve how the strings respond to the magnets of your pickups, which translates to better output and more midrange frequencies.

The specially designed winding is also designed to improve tuning stability, which in turn improves overall playing experience.
