D´ADDARIO strings - XTs. XLs. NYXLs - My OPINION

[@tomquayleguitar]

Nice analysis dude! I'm loving the XTs.

[@TonyMartinez]

Tom Quayle loving mines so far man !

I've been using XL9s since the mid 80s. All of sets are excellent, but XLs are my go-to set. What I like about them is they have a perfect balance of warmth and brightness/presence. They also hold up very well. I've had the same set on one of my guitars for three months and they still sound great. They also feel fantastic. I find that they hold their tune better than most brands. My backup strings, if I can't find D'Addarios, are Ernie Ball Cobalt 9s. Good strings too, but I prefer D'Addario. I've also used Dean Markley Blue Steels but I find them but be a big jangly on the wound strings.

The NYXL pack you are holdig looks like the 10-46 Balanced Tension pack. If you wanted the same feel as the regular XL's you should have just got the regular 10-46.

Gracias, Tony! Espléndida exposición. Quedaré a la espera de tus comentarios. Te cuento un poco mi rollo: Me hice con una AZ2402 este verano (como la gozo!!). Venía con unas 10-46 que entre la acción y las cuerdas (creo que NYXL) parecían alambres. Yo, normalmente, en mi Strat, llevaba 9-46 de NYXL y eso que venía de las Dean Markley Blue Steel. Aunque no me disgusta el tacto del coated, si que es verdad que se nota, así que tendré las XT en cuenta para el próximo cambio.... y mientras tanto, esperaré tu review, Thanks!!

I finally picked up a pack of NYXL's now that the price dropped a bit. I think I bought them late last year and put them on not too long before the pandemic. Now fast forward a few months, I only recently picked up new strings since stores are open again, but I couldn't believe how great the NYXLs hold up. On my '81 LP Custom, all strings feel a gauge or two lighter so I haven't really noticed a difference in tension. I picked up some for my strat but haven't put them on yet, and that will be a good test. One thing I will note, I'm fairly sure the XT's are essentially NYXLs with a very thin coating added to them, but they have the same hard steel core so I would expect them to feel the same.

[@shred5]

11 month update: I have since tried NYXL 10s on my strat and they tried to murder with my fingers. I put 9s on the strat, and they felt right where regular 9s did not. I still buy NYXLs if I'm buying 9s.

[@lukec1471]

@@shred5 thanks for your update this actually helped me a lot

[@shred5]

@@lukec1471 Yeah no problem. I didn't even realize the 9s were stiffer, but when I put the 10s on my strat, it was basically money wasted because I could barely play the thing. However NYXL 9s did feel pretty good on my strat where regular 9s felt too thin for that guitar.

[@edguyrocks5865]

I used XL strings for years. I then switched to NYXL. Now I’m an XT user. Strings last forever. And a little less bright than NYXL. Daddarios hold intonation very well. Plus have some bend.

[@edguyrocks5865]

I literally have had XL 10/46 on a guitar for 2.5years and they still sound great.

[@francescocapuani]

Thanks man! This was Is so useful! Great licks and noodling btw :)

[@kimL93]

I love xt the tone and feel is good

[@davidletterboyz]

Do you think the XT sound a bit brighter?

[@arnaldosound]

Hola estimado. Comparto tu apreciación de las NYXL y las XT. Las XT son más delgadas, mayor definición, pero menos ataque. incluso la XT es más delgada que la ernie ball... Sabrias cuál es más gruesa en el calibre 46. Si la XT o la XL? Saludos! Buen video.

[@cosasDEguitarra]

Perfecta idea la de subtitular en castellano!!!! yo uso elixir porque el resto de las marcas las destruyo con mi sudor de Alien...

[@hbrmetal]

God bless you for stopping by this comment, and may your entire family prosper in all areas

[@paultinajero9733]

Què calibre de cuerdas usais en afinación standard en strato tio?

[@crazywisdom2]

Thr diff. Between the nyxl and thr Xt's might be the diff. In the length from thr neck to the bridge. i. e. Tension(?)

[@gnl6988]

Buen vídeo, esperemos tus comentarios de aquí unas semanas ;) yo soy de Elixir, pero les daré una oportunidad a esas nuevas

[@latestlatest4760]

Hi, after several months playing XT, how does it last? And tension-wise, what do you think about it now? Thanks

[@TonyMartinez]

Latest Latest i prefer XTs over NYXL, cant notice a feel or tension difference. Still regular XLs are my go to

[@latestlatest4760]

@@TonyMartinez hi..thx for replying fast..but I don't get what u mean..do you mean that XT has the same tension as NYXL or with regular XL? And how about the longevity of the XT? Thank u

[@TonyMartinez]

Latest Latest I mean, XTs are closer in tension and tone to my regular XLs. NYXL have more tension ( to my feel ) and more ... high frequencies. XTs last way more than regular XLs

[@latestlatest4760]

@@TonyMartinez thanks a lot🙏

[@petrucci38]

Las NYXL comentas que las probaste en una Strato. La escala de la Strato o la tele es diferente a la de las Les paul, son guitarras más "duras". Prueba con un juego 9-46 ya verás como cambia la percepción. Un saludo!

[@TonyMartinez]

petrucci38 claro todo tiene arreglo, incluso probando las balanced tension. Pero eso no quita que las 10s de NYXL son mas duras que las XL standard en la strato. Luego cada uno que lo arregle como quiera jajajaj

[@JeanDo]

I guess you are wearing a Lagerfield shirt but I’m not sure 🤔

[@TonyMartinez]

Uvechjucorsu !!! I notice editin the video that was not a good choice hahahahah

[@JeanDo]

Tony Martinez 😂 Bueno como estas Toni? Veo que todo bien con tu trabajo de guitarrista 👍 Mola mucho tu canal! yo sigo tocando pero poco porque estos ultimos años,mucho trabajo y demasiado crios(3 con 2 gemelas 😅). A ver si algun dia me animo y vengo a visitaros o a frankfurt. Un saludo!

[@audionmusic2787]

That’s not the correct way to change strings. You are messing up your neck by releasing all the tension. Replace 1 string at a time to keep tension on the neck. The main difference between NYXL and XL is the core. Hex vs round. That’s a major tone difference you didn’t mention or even notice. Hex core is brighter and sharper. Round is more mellow and smooth.

[@HeliBenj]

That doesn’t make a difference, people have been changing all strings at once for decades without ill effects. Also how do you clean fretboard and frets if not? You’re wrong

Gracias por prostituir el idioma, maquina. Has quedado muy 'cool' .

[@TonyMartinez]

6ascon hace 10 años q subo videos a youtube. 10 años q los subo en ingles y 10 años q leo comentarios como el tuyo. No te canses :)

[@6ascon]

@@TonyMartinez No me canso en absoluto, ni voy a alargarlo mas. Tan solo es expresar que me parece una verguenza. Alla cada cual con sus principios.

[@TonyMartinez]

6ascon lo que es una verguenza es que si hablas en ingles en este pais, porque el 95% de tu publico no es español, te digan que es una verguenza. Lo que es una pena mas que una verguenza es que te hayan educado asi.

[@6ascon]

@@TonyMartinez El publico que tienes lo provocas tu. Si hablaras en frances, serian franceses. Pero porque se habla en ingles en medio mundo? porque ellos promueven y defienden su idioma y nosotros no. El video podia haber sido al reves, en castellano y subtitulado en ingles, que quien le interese lo vera igual, pero no, vamos a vendernos... Y lo que es una verguenza es que el hecho decir que es responsabilidad nuestra promover un idioma tan rico como el nuestro, se tache de verguenza o mala o retrogada educacion. Ni mucho menos. Hay que saber es ingles, es importante. Y luego, siempre que este es nuestro poder elegir, ser comprometido con nuestra lengua y promoverla. Ahora si quieres sigue escudandote en que eso es de mala educacion, de antiguo o facha o cualquier sandez de esas. Pero la realidad es la realidad. Tu antepones venderte al comprometerse, eres libre de hacerlo, pero eso ya dice mucho de tus principios. Al menos no tengas la desfachatez de pretender darle la vuelta a la tortilla.

[@TonyMartinez]

6ascon 6ascon yo no giro ninguna tortilla. El idioma mas hablado es el ingles. Si ve un video un japones o taiwanes seguro q entiendo ingles antes que castellano. Si subo un video en castellano tiene nose 1000 visitas ? Uno en ingles tiene mucho mas por norma general. El 90% de empresas con la que trabajo son americanas. Estoy de gira con una cantante americana. Hice mas de 200 demos de pedales para una tienda americana. Quiza me he hecho el publico yo, pero si miro estadosticas y pone que el 60% de mis seguidores son de USA, el segundo pais es Brasil y el tercero Indonesia .... pues hombre creo q tiene sentifo que haga los videos en ingles y los subtitule en castellano y no al reves. Pero vamos que hago mucho curro en castellano pero no en mi canal asi que si me quieres ver hablando en castellano, ya sabes.
