    D'Addario NYXL1046 Nickel Plated Electric Guitar Strings, Light

    • it was difficult to get some nice bends from them
    • Felt strong when bending, sounded great
    • Makes bending a lot easier.
    • The bends are amazing and the sound is so strong and bright, and the sustain is awesome
    • While light gauge, these strings seem to have a high tension that defeats the purpose for myself, which is easy string bends and effortless vibrato.
    • The bends sound great and they retain tuning fairly well.
    • This results in easier bending, but it maintains enough tension for my liking
    • Smooth bends and just an all around great feel and sound
    • I do some serious bending and never broken one (well once, but it was not the string's fault but rather a improperly filed nut).
    • Strings are nice and bright, like advertised, but the high E was tarnished in a few spots
    • Probably my favorite string (at least at the moment)... really nice heavy gauge strings, I got the 1150BT balanced tensions ones, so the 50 low E is especially nice since it's a little heavier than a normal 48, but not quite as chunky as a 52
    • : High E snapped at post during stringing, G & B sticky to slide due to the nature of the metal alloy (couldn't even test the high E), not as easy to bend as advertised - the gauges I run feel like a heavier gaugeToo many negatives to warrant the price

    • The EB Classic Rock N Roll 10-46 set that I previously preferred is half the price of the NYXLs
    • Four of the six strings are obvious to me just by looking at them, but the D and the G are very hard for me to tell apart and the color coding doesn't help me a bit
    • They don’t sound any better than normal D’Addarrio
    • I've never in my life broken a string from just playing my guitar ever, and these strings did just that, I was practicing a Hollywood Undead song and had the D string break, yeah waste of money.
