HI,

When comparing a set of stainless steel strings vs. nickel, are the unwound strings the same in both sets?

thanks,

Al

HI,

I think I found an answer:


"Roundwound Guitar and Bass strings are made up of a Hex core steel center and a steel wrap around it. Nickle Plated strings are most common.
They have a Nickle plated steel wrap around the Hex core. The Stainless steel wrap is a brighter sounding metal and produces a brighter overall sound.

Thanks

Derek" So I'm assuming that the unwound strings in a nickel set or SS are the same>
