D'Addario EPN115 Pure Nickel Electric Guitar Blues/Jazz Electric Guitar Strings

Mellow tone for practice

Some things to keep in mind regarding "Pure" Nickel strings: 1) the top 3 strings are steel strings with nickel plating (maybe). 2) the bottom 3 strings are nickel-wound nickel strings (maybe). The difference between these and regular nickel-wound certainly sound different. I do prefer the tone with the Nickels. Hard to describe, but they seem "vintage" -- less high end and warmer. And the wound strings seem to produce less finger noise than nickel-wounds. They "feel" nice on the hands. But how much nickel is in Pure Nickel beats me.

I feel that these jazz/bues strings hold great tone and the test of a thousand+ notes+ bends - they return right back to near perfection, ready to take another cruise in the "sea of guitara".
