D'Addario NYXL Single Electric Guitar String — .042" Replacement

The D'Addario NYXL NYNW042 is a single .042" electric guitar string from the NYXL series, featuring reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap wire and a round-wound construction. D'Addario engineered this string for enhanced mid-range frequency response in the 1–3.5 kHz range, giving players more presence and crunch to cut through a dense mix. It works as a direct replacement for a broken or worn string, or as a building block for a custom gauge set tailored to individual playing style. The NYXL series is known for improved tuning stability and break resistance compared to traditional nickel wound strings, making this single string a practical upgrade over standard factory strings. All D'Addario strings are designed, engineered, and manufactured in the USA.

Who Is This String For?

The NYNW042 is the right choice for electric guitarists who need a reliable .042" replacement string with enhanced mid-range presence and tuning stability. It suits players who prefer round-wound nickel strings for rock, blues, and pop styles where cut and crunch matter. The .042" gauge works well as a low-E string in standard tuning or as an A string in drop tunings, making it versatile for rhythm and lead players alike. Guitarists building custom gauge sets — combining NYXL singles to match their preferred tension and feel — will find this string a consistent match with the rest of the NYXL line. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility, it carries the same quality standards as the full NYXL sets.
