Collings Guitars Goes with D’Addario’s NYXL For Exclusive Partnership

MMR • Supplier Scene • September 16, 2015

D’Addario has announced a partnership with Collings Guitars of Austin, Texas that will see the prominent instrument maker exclusively use D’Addario’s NYXL strings on their electric guitars.

Introduced last year, D’Addario’s NYXL strings feature a newly engineered, break-resistant, high-carbon steel core and plain steel alloy that is designed to deliver a whole new level of freedom, confidence, and power to guitar players at all levels. They are D’Addario’s strongest strings ever made. NYXL strings provide more strength, and up to 131% greater tuning stability when compared to traditional nickel wound sets.

Collings Guitars has been owned and operated by Bill Collings in Austin, Texas for over 30 years. In that time, the premium guitar builder has attracted the likes of Zac Brown, Brandi Carlile and Keith Urban to use their products. Collings currently manufactures 65 varieties of stringed instruments, including acoustic, electric and archtop guitars, as well as mandolins and ukuleles.

“We’ve been using D’Addario strings for decades and never had any reason not to.” Said Bill Collings of the exclusive partnership. “In fact, I really admire the fact that they are always working on improving their processes and equipment just to make a better string….for me.”
