## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why do these strings turn my fingers black ? Anybody else had this problem ?**
A: Have you seen a picture of SRV’s fingers? Permanently black/grey from playing. Probably the wear of the metal. Frets and strings wear out from play due to friction

**Q: What’s the difference between hybrid and regular strings?**
A: The difference is the string gauges.  
The 9-11-16-26-36-46 is considered a "hybrid gauge" set.  
It has the 9-11-16 of their "super" slinky sets and the 26-36-46 of their "regular" sets.  So it's a hybrid of the 9s and 10s.  Hope that helps!

**Q: Are these strings round or hex core?**
A: From the Ernie Ball website (do a search for 2253) they say this: "Made from pure nickel wire wrapped around tin plated hex shaped steel core wire, these guitar strings produce a warm rich tone with that signature Slinky feel. Gauges .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, .042 " so according to Ernie Ball they are HEX CORE.

**Q: Which of the classic pure nickel slinky sets have unwound g (3rd) strings?**
A: All of the Ernie Ball Pure Nickel Slinky sets currently available have unwound 3rd strings. This particular brand denotes "w" next to the 3rd string gauge number to denote a wound 3rd. Notice no "w"s are present on any of the packages here, so no sets contain a wound 3rd.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***D on 11 October 2025*

I’ve been using Ernie Ball strings for years, but this Regular Slinky Classic Pure Nickel set (10–46) might be my favorite so far. The tone is warm and smooth, not as bright as the standard Slinkys, which gives my guitar a nice vintage sound perfect for blues, rock, and clean tones. They feel great under the fingers too — bends are easy, and the tension feels just right. Tuning stability has been solid, even after a few heavy sessions. After a few weeks of playing, they’ve held up really well with no rust or dullness. If you like a more classic, rounded sound instead of the sharp, modern brightness, these are a great choice. Reliable, comfortable, and they just sound good.
