Nickel-Plated Steel wound strings were introduced in the late Sixties and have become the most popular alloy for electric guitars and basses as they are regarded to offer the most balanced tone and perfect for your Rickenbacker, Ibanez, Vintage or Yamaha 12-String Electric Guitar!
These 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.
