Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
NYXL0980 is a super-light .009–.080 nickel-wound set for 8-string electric guitar. It is designed around maximum flexibility and balanced for longer scale length instruments. The strings use a break-resistant high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy. A redesigned wire-drawing and fusion-twist process is used for the plain steels, while the nickel-plated windings are formulated for greater magnetic properties, higher output, and enhanced mid-range response with more presence and crunch.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Longer-scale 8-string setups where maximum flexibility and super-light gauges are the priority.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
