NYXL Nickel Wound Single String for Electric Guitar

The D'Addario NYNW040 is a single .040" string from the NYXL Nickel Wound Singles line, engineered for electric guitar players who need a reliable replacement or want to build a custom gauge set. Precision-wound with a reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire, it delivers enhanced magnetic properties that produce higher output and a boosted midrange frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range. This gives the guitar more presence and crunch to cut through a dense mix, whether on stage or in the studio. Round-wound construction preserves the classic bright attack and harmonic complexity that electric players expect from nickel strings, while improved tuning stability over traditional nickel wound strings means faster settling and fewer retunes mid-set. Designed, engineered, and manufactured at D'Addario's New York production facility, it carries the same quality standards as the full NYXL string packs.

Who It's For

The NYNW040 is the right choice for electric guitar players who need a single .040" replacement string or want to assemble a custom gauge set from individual NYXL singles. It works well as a low E or A string in light-to-medium custom sets, and the reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap delivers the brighter, more present tone that suits rock, blues, and modern pop styles. Players who frequently bend strings or use tremolo systems will appreciate the improved tuning stability, while those building balanced-tension sets for down-tuned guitars can mix this single with other NYXL gauges to fine-tune feel and response. The ball-end design ensures a straightforward drop-in installation on any standard electric guitar with a tune-o-matic, hardtail, or tremolo bridge.
