Nickel wound strings are a go-to choice for electric guitarists who want versatility and clarity without excessive brightness. They respond well across a wide range of playing styles, offering a familiar feel and consistent tone for rhythm and lead work alike.
Curt Mangan nickel wound electric guitar strings are constructed by winding nickel-plated steel wire around a tin-plated, high-carbon steel core, producing a balanced tonal response with sparkling highs, articulate midrange, and defined low end.
All strings are designed using Curt Mangan’s FusionMatched™ approach — a gauge-specific process that accounts for core-to-wrap ratios, wire selection, and custom-built winding machines to achieve optimal tone, intonation, and longevity for each string.
All Curt Mangan electric guitar strings are made using USA-made wire and carefully manufactured to deliver consistent performance from string to string and set to set.
