Stainless Steel Slinky Guitar Strings are 100 % Nickel Free....Personally, I love the tone Stainless Steels give off too.
We've done some additional research, but for now this is your best option!
Hey LesPaul667,
I'm one of the engineers here at Ernie Ball. You don't have to worry about any nickel on the plain strings. The plain strings are made of specially tempered tin plated high carbon steel. As Brian stated, a set of stainless steel strings are completely nickel-free.

Classic Pure Nickel's =100 % nickel
Nickel Slinky's are 8 % Nickel the rest is steel.
RPS strings have the same wrap wire as Slinkys.

I cannot comment on the grade of stainless used, but I can once again confirm that our stainless steel strings are nickel free. I would also like to add that our new Cobalt strings are nickel free. We were very excited about being able to provide another alternative for players with nickel allergies.
Thanks for the tip, the problem is that I'm allergic to both nickel *and* cobalt(supposedly if you're allergic to one, you're usually allergic to *both*). These were the 2 metals that came up positive in my allergy patch tests.
As you can see my alternatives are slim to none lol.
