Review: Good - Good tone and last well Review: Fantastic strings - I've put these onto my Telecaster mainly for playing blues/blues rock and a bit of fingerpicking and they sound great. Their tone is really warm which is perfect for what I want. They also bend (and generally play) a lot better than the Ernie Ball strings I was using previously with the exception of the top two strings which don't feel much different. I would definitely recommend them to anyody playing blues or jazz. ## Features - VINTAGE TONE - XL Pure Nickel offers the vintage guitar tone of the 1950s. - RICH, CLEAN SOUND - Pure Nickel wrap wire revives the rich, clean string sound heard in early blues, rock & roll, and country music. - HEX-CORE - Like all D’Addario electric guitar strings, XL Pure Nickel are made with our proprietary Hex-Core, ensuring perfect intonation, consistent feel, and reliable durability. - EARN REWARD POINTS - Pure Nickel sets have a code on the recyclable VCI bag, which you can register to earn Players Circle points. - MADE IN THE USA – D’Addario electric guitar strings are made in the USA—drawn to our exacting specifications at our New York production facility. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0013NBIBS | | Best Sellers Rank | 4,825 in Musical Instruments & DJ ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments & DJ ) 223 in Guitar Strings | | Brand | D'Addario | | Brand Name | D'Addario | | Coating Description | Uncoated | | Coating description | Uncoated | | Colour | Blue | | Country of Origin | USA | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,340 Reviews | | Finish Type | Nickel Coated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00019954954055 | | Included Components | 1 x EPN110 string set | | Instrument | Electric Guitar | | Item Type Name | Electric Guitar Strings | | Item Weight | 0.07 Pounds | | Manufacturer | D'Addario Ltd | | Manufacturer Part Number | EPN110 | | Material Type | Nickel Plated Steel | | Model Name | EPN110 | | Model Number | EPN110 | | Recommended Uses For Product | Electric Guitar | | Set Name | EPN110 | | Sound Profile | Warm | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Nickel | | String gauge | Light | | String material type | Nickel | | UPC | 019954954055 | | Unit Count | 1 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** D'Addario - **Colour:** Blue - **Instrument:** Electric Guitar - **String gauge:** Light - **String material type:** Nickel ## Images ![Guitar Strings - XL Pure Nickel Electric Guitar Strings - Round Wound - Warm, Bright, Vintage Sound - EPN110 - Regular Light, 10-45 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81vc6cNRG4L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: does anyone know what is the difference between the pure nickel and the wound nickel?** A: Pure Nickel is less susceptible to the magnetic field, and thus warmer. A lot of blues players use them. Think 50/60’s sound. Nickel Wound, has a steel core, which are affected more by the pick-up magnets. Those strings have a brighter attack. Hope that helps! Always try them yourself, personal taste may differ. **Q: Is the G string wound** A: On sets over 12 gauge on the first string... the 3rd string is wound. Under 11 gauge E string the G is plain.Overall great strings these pure nickel ones. **Q: Are these good for a semi-hollow body style guitar like an Ibanez artcore ag75?** A: Hi, yes they are good strings for that guitar. I bought them looking for a warm jazzy tone, but these caliber are hard to play. **Q: Are these strings good for a telecaster or strat ?** A: Yes, and as with all things, it depends on what kind of sound you're going for. Pure Nickel strings tend to have a warmer tone which is great for blues. If your guitar's pickups tend to be too bright, these will help smooth put the tone. I used them on my strat which was equipped with Noiseless pups that were very bright. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good *by D***Y on 2 November 2025* Good tone and last well ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic strings *by S***M on 15 May 2013* I've put these onto my Telecaster mainly for playing blues/blues rock and a bit of fingerpicking and they sound great.
