Review: Rockabilly heaven - Top notch strings for that vintage fifties sound I was looking for . Switch out the wound G for a steel just for my style of playing . A lot of gigs in and very stable and still sound awesome on a Gretsch Hot Rod and I use my bigsby a lot . 10s give me that easier playability without compromising that jazzy rockabilly sound . And Neck didn’t need tweaking at all
Review: Fantastic strings! - These strings are a great mid point between steel & flatwounds, really warm but with some nice clarity!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: does anyone know what is the difference between the pure nickel and the wound nickel?**
A: Pure Nickel is less susceptible to the magnetic field, and thus warmer.  A lot of blues players use them.  Think 50/60’s sound.  Nickel Wound, has a steel core, which are affected more by the pick-up magnets.  Those strings have a brighter attack.  Hope that helps!  Always try them yourself, personal taste may differ.

**Q: Is the G string wound**
A: On sets over 12 gauge on the first string... the 3rd string is wound.  Under 11 gauge E string the G is plain.Overall great strings these pure nickel ones.

**Q: Are these good for a semi-hollow body style guitar like an Ibanez artcore ag75?**
A: Hi, yes they are good strings for that guitar. I bought them looking for a warm jazzy tone, but these caliber are hard to play.

**Q: Are these strings good for a telecaster or strat ?**
A: Yes, and as with all things, it depends on what kind of sound you're going for. Pure Nickel strings tend to have a warmer tone which is great for blues. If your guitar's pickups tend to be too bright, these will help smooth put the tone. I used them on my strat which was equipped with Noiseless pups that were very bright.
