D'Addario NYS016 Samostojna struna za kitaro

Single Plain Steel Replacement String for Electric Guitar

The D'Addario NYS016 is a single .016" plain steel electric guitar string from the NYXL line, engineered with the brand's proprietary high-carbon steel alloy for break resistance and tuning stability. This individual replacement string solves the common problem of a single broken string mid-performance, letting players swap out just the failed string instead of replacing an entire set. Reformulated nickel-plated steel winding delivers greater magnetic output and enhanced mid-range frequency response compared to traditional plain steel strings, giving the string more presence and crunch through an amplifier.

Who Is It For

This single .016" plain steel string is the right choice for electric guitarists who need a replacement string at a specific gauge without buying a full set. It's ideal for players who break individual strings frequently and want to keep spares on hand, or for those building hybrid gauge sets that mix light and heavy strings for custom playing feel. The NYXL high-carbon steel construction makes it especially suitable for players who use alternate tunings, heavy bending, or aggressive playing styles where standard plain steel strings might fail.
