D’Addario is the world’s largest musical instrument accessories manufacturer, with one of the largest ranges of musical accessories now available for various instruments. A family-owned and operated company based in New York, the D’Addario family has been involved in string making and instrument building companies that can be traced back to Italy in the 1600s! Four centuries of family craft led to the first D’Adarrio store and American brand being founded in 1973 in Long Island, and it now operates in various countries worldwide, distributing to all major retailers and 120 countries! 

The pioneering John D’Addario Sr. noticed that the standard and most widely available guitar strings of the 50s were characteristically dull, and introduced new techniques that would change the landscape of guitar strings forever! D’Addario introduced the more lively and brighter-sounding nickel-plated steel guitar string in the early 60s, impressing guitarists across the US and soon taking the world by storm. Today, 80% of all guitar strings on the market are based on this original nickel-plated formula, and D’Addario have continued to improve on their string formulas since, with the introduction of the hugely popular NYXL, X, XS and XT series! 

Today D’Addario strings and accessories are renowned for their high quality, fantastic performance, and reliability. You know what to expect with every pack of D’Addario strings, and their strings, straps, high-quality cables and other accessories have become the choice pick for world-touring artists such as Joe Satriani, Gary Clark Jr., and Billy Strings.
