Daddario NW059 Single String

In the old days it was hard, if not impossible, to buy individual strings. However, times have changed, much to my pleasure. While I no longer use this string gauge (it was too thin for my requirements), it was a usual high quality string expected from D'addario.

The best thing about this string is that exists?I needed big gauge strings to use with a short scale (19") guitar in standard tuning. There aren?t many options.
The sounds is ok?it?s a string?.
Nice product

This is a great string for a low B on a 7-string guitar or a tunes down 6-string. Many 7-string guitars come with a 0.56 on the low side but I think this is far better on a normal "25.5 scale guitar because of the extra tension it gives. 0.56 is way too loose in my opinion, this 0.59 adds some well needed tension while it still retain enough clarity. The problem with non-baritone guitars is that you can't use too thick strings becasue you'll lose clarity but this string is a good compromise, good tension and good clarity.

Using it as a seven string to complement a 9 or 10 to 46 string pack as Daddario is my go to string brand, and I don't find their 7 string packs well balanced. Gives more tension than the 58 obviously, and retains a bit more clarity than a 60 for a regular scale in B standard.

I buy these singles for my Strandberg 7 String and they do their job perfectly, sound very articulated and last decently long for the price. Would recommend.
