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 to 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.

round core pure nickel sets
5 Stars

Great strings, lovely feel and time great that they offer custom sets

Round Core Nickel Wound custom set
5 Stars

A big fan of the Round Core strings and decided to try a custom set in the David Gilmour gauges (10, 12, 16p, 28, 38, 48). Wow. The added slinkiness to the B and G is perfect. Using them on a Jazzmaster, so standard Fender scale. Also have a set on a 335, so they are great on the Gibson scale too. Shorter scale already gives less tension, so these border on too light for me at that scale, but am working on my left hand touch to make it work (and make me a better player).

Magical

I used Curt Mangan nickel wound for years and thought I would try these. Not sure what it is but it just feels and sounds so comfortable. My new favorite.

11-48 round core nickel
5 Stars

I bought a few of this set to put on a Tele and Fender/Charvel 24 fret...these are very good sounding guitars...but these strings make the guitars sound world class. It's as if the guitars were tecorded and mastered by a great audio engineer. They feel great as well.

Great strings, great service!

Best strings I’ve played
5 Stars

I only play Curt Mangan strings — for me, the quality, tone, playability, and longevity are second to none. I am very selective (picky) about my strings. What I really appreciate is the ability to create a set with my specific gauge preferences, which are not available in off-the-shelf sets. I am completely satisfied with all aspects of Curt Mangan strings and can recommend them without reservation. Thanks Curt!!

Fusion Matched, Round Core, Pure Nickel strings
5 Stars

I've just strung up two of my main guitars with these strings - so far, I'm really liking the feel and the sound. The round core and nickel are getting harder and harder to find these days. A big thumbs up!

Great strings

Nickel plated round cores

Great strings, I've never been too picky about strings but these are high quality and have opened up the tone of my Stratocaster! I don't have enough kind words for you guys! Thank you again!
