D'Addario NYS015 Single Guitar String

D'Addario NYS015 Single Plain Steel String — NYXL High-Carbon Steel Replacement

The D'Addario NYS015 is a single .015" plain steel electric guitar string drawn from the NYXL series, engineered around D'Addario's proprietary NY Steel high-carbon steel alloy. This single replacement string uses a reinvented wire drawing process and a "fusion twist" construction that delivers up to 131% greater tuning stability than traditional plain steel strings. The reformulated nickel-plated steel wrap gives the string greater magnetic properties, resulting in higher output and a stronger midrange frequency response. Built for players who break strings mid-gig or who want to mix and match gauges, this is a precision-made single string manufactured in D'Addario's New York facility.

Who It's For

Electric guitar players who need a reliable .015" plain steel replacement string without buying a full set will find the NYS015 a practical solution. It suits players who prefer heavier-gauge top strings for dropped tunings or who want to build a custom hybrid set mixing NYXL strings with other D'Addario lines. Gigging musicians who break strings frequently will appreciate the break-resistant high-carbon steel core, while tone-focused players benefit from the stronger midrange push and tuning stability. Made in the USA at D'Addario's New York production facility, this single string fits any standard electric guitar.
