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.
Nickel Wound strings are created by wrapping Nickel-Plated Steel alloys around a hex-shaped core wire which is made from tin-plated high-carbon steel (same as plain strings, but hex-shaped). The “core-to-wrap” ratio is the combined diameters of the core wire and the wrap wire which creates the overall diameter of the string.

9-46 12-String Light Nickel Wound Guitar String Set
My first time buying this set now that I finally have an electric 12-string, and I have to say that these strings feel fantastic underneath my fingers! Perfectly balanced and so much easier to play than the 10s the guitar came with. They also hold their tuning and intonation wonderfully, and I am even getting more pronounced 5th fret harmonics out of the 1st and 2nd string courses that I wasn’t getting before (perhaps a result of the easing in neck relief after moving from 10s to 9s?). So yes, I will be buying all of my future 12-string sets from Curt and co.!!!
