Heyo! First thread here!
So i have a couple questions. I was looking at the sets because firstly i am allergic to nickel. I've always played with nickel strings and just had to toughen up when my fingers were sore or felt raw the next day. Now that i see these cobalt ones, im wondering if these will help me out. I know there's stainless steel and gold strings; and these can be used to fix my problem, but i didnt really want to go that route because i heard the steel ones wear down your frets fast and the gold ones are pricey. So in whole, does anyone know if these strings have nickel in them, or if they do , do they coat over it completely?
Second question, i'm looking for a set that has the third sting (g-string) wound. I dunno how to tell this from the fronts of the package. I usually like the heavy bottom ernie balls where the low string is around a 52 and the high strings is a 10 or 11. But im looking for a set with a wound 3rd string to go with it. Can i look anywhere?
Thanks in advance for any input guys.
Peace!
