Gauges: 10.5-14-17-26-38-48
Pure Nickel wound strings were used exclusively on most guitars built in Fifties and most of the Sixties. Pure Nickel has a slightly warmer tone than nickel-plated steel and is preferred by many blues artists.
Pure Nickel Wound strings are created by wrapping Pure Nickel alloys around a hex-shaped core wire which is made from tin-plated high-carbon steel (same as plain strings, but hex-shaped).

Like another reviewer, I put these on my teles and tune down to Eb and they really perform well. Long lasting, intonate well and balanced sound string to string . Love them !
strings
best strings I have ever used. long lasting warm
Perfect Balance for Eb tuning
These strings performed excellent. They do not break easy, stay in tune better, and last longer than regular more inexpensive strings. I used them on a long scale guitar tuned to Eb and found them to be a better balanced set and felt closer to a normal 10-46 set while in the flat tuning. Shipping was efficient as well.
Great Strings
I gave the strings a 4 because I reserve the best place to Matt Schofield's signature set! However, these strings are great sounds with nice highs and a tight bottom. IF you like that "Jingle-Jangle" snappy tone for a strat, these are just perfect. Also, like all of Curt's strings they stay in tune and do not break easily. I've never broken one of curt's strings and I bend the heck out of them! I always feel confident that his strings will not break and that helps me to play my best in live performances. Tone, Tone, Tone!
