The innovative history of the D'Addario NYXL, the guitar string for people who want to shred.
Jim D'Addario's family has been making music strings since 1680. His Long Island factory has grown in recent decades to become the largest manufacturer of music strings in the world, with 700,000 of them produced per day. And D'Addario has recently launched a new type of guitar string, NYXL, inspired in part by the cables holding up the Brooklyn Bridge.
