Nickel plated steel wound strings were introduced in the late Sixties and have become the most popular alloy for electric guitars and bass. Nickel plated steel tends to offer the most balanced tone, and are created by wrapping nickel-plated steel alloys around a core wire which is made from tin-plated high-carbon steel. It's a classic recipe that is a superb match for all styles of music.

Main Features:

• Hex core shape lends to a great playing, punchy sounding string with real low end 'snap' on the bottom strings and singing highs on the top
• Legendary durability ensures consistently great sound and playability between string changes
• 100% handmade string using USA-made metals and wound in Cortez, Colorado USA
