Description
Before nickel-plated steel took over guitar shops in the ’60s for its brightness and stronger magnetic output, pure nickel was the standard wrap wire on electric strings — and that’s exactly what D’Addario brings back with the EPN110 set. If you chase the rounder, smokier tone heard on classic blues, early rock and roll, and rockabilly recordings, this Regular Light gauge set (.010, .013, .017 plain steel; .025, .035, .045 nickel-wound) delivers it while keeping the easy, familiar feel of D’Addario’s best-selling light gauge design.
Pure nickel wrap wire naturally softens the top end compared to modern nickel-plated steel, producing a rounder, more vintage-leaning voice without sacrificing note definition. It’s a favorite among players chasing tones from an earlier era of electric guitar, whether on a Tele, Strat, or hollow body.
Every set is manufactured in the U.S.A. on D’Addario’s proprietary, digitally controlled machinery, ensuring consistent tension and tone from pack to pack. D’Addario also uses corrosion-resistant packaging designed to keep strings fresh and ready to install right up until you break the seal.
