D'Addario NYXL1252 Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 12-52 Wound 3rd

The D'Addario NYXL1252 Electric Guitar Strings are designed for players seeking vintage-style tone with modern performance. Featuring a wound 3rd (G) string, this set delivers enhanced tuning stability and a smoother tonal transition across all strings.

The NYXL high-carbon steel core provides increased strength, helping reduce string breakage during aggressive playing and string bending. This makes them ideal for blues, jazz, and classic rock styles.

The 12-52 gauge offers higher tension and fuller tone, while the wound 3rd string provides improved intonation and a warmer, more balanced sound compared to plain 3rd strings.

Nickel wound construction ensures rich tone with clarity and strong projection, making this set perfect for players who prefer a traditional feel with modern reliability.
