Safe and secure checkout
Built for extended-range clarity and Strandberg® performance. D’Addario NYXL0984SB is a Custom Light 8-string set (09–84) engineered specifically for Strandberg multiscale guitars and bridge geometry. With a NY Steel core, premium nickel-plated steel wrap, and Fusion Twist ends, NYXLs deliver higher break strength, rock-solid tuning, and a present, cutting midrange (1–3.5 kHz)—so riffs stay tight and leads jump out of the mix.
Why players choose NYXL on 8-string
-
Stays in tune: Fusion Twist + NY Steel = exceptional tuning stability (great for bends, vibrato, and aggressive right-hand work).
-
Hits harder in the mids: added presence and crunch without getting harsh—perfect for modern metal, djent, fusion and beyond.
-
Custom balanced for Strandberg: gauges and lengths optimized for the variable scale and proprietary bridge to keep tension and intonation consistent across all 8 strings.
