These strings are as "vintage" as you can get. Pure nickel wrap on a round tin-plated, high carbon steel core. Many players believe that round core strings feel easier to play with less tension and have a clearer tone. By design, round core strings must be handled carefully so that the outer winding does not come lose. On guitars that have an eye in the tuning post, it is important to install the string and tune to pitch before cutting the excess string off. On guitars where the tuning post has a hole down the center which require the string to be cut prior to placing the string down the post hole, it is important that you first make a 90 degree bend before cutting the string. It best to make that 90 degree bend about two inches longer than the post where you will be installing the string. Once you have made the bend leave about one-half inch before cutting the string then place the bent section inside the tuning post and tune to pitch. Be aware that it takes longer for a round core strings to "settle" in and it requires many more tugs, but once installed and settled in, they are amazing.

Mangan 10-46 Pure Nickel Round Core
5 Stars

I have used these on my semi-hollow and I am amazed at the tone and feel of the strings. They stay in tune well and I always have a great time with them under my fingers. I really enjoy the opportunity to support Curt and the crew they do an amazing job with all their strings.

My Favorite Overall Strings
5 Stars

For my money, I have not found a better set of strings. They aren't overly bright and don't have a zing like stainless strings. Balanced throughout the life of the strings. The round core makes the strings feel very natural and comfortable.

Round core, pure nickel strings
5 Stars

These are my favorite! I have used round core strings for a long time but the switch to the pure nickel wrap on the wound strings was the final piece of the puzzle. They are very vocal sounding and responsive and have slightly less output which keeps the low end cleaner and better defined. Overall a better balanced sound than the nickel plated steel wraps I've been used to.

These are the best strings! The tone is great, but they way the strings feel under your fingers is what really sets these apart from other stings. The customer service is fantastic - very responsive!
