FENDER CLASSIC CORE NPS 255R 10-46 Strings

Fender Classic Core NPS 255R Electric Guitar Strings (10-46)

The Fender Classic Core NPS 255R is a versatile and balanced set of strings that has become a standard for many rock, blues, and jazz guitarists. Like other strings in this series, they are made of steel and nickel-plated (NPS – Nickel-Plated Steel). This construction ensures that the sound is sharp enough to cut through the mix, yet still possesses warmth and a pleasant timbre.

The key difference from the 9-42 set is that these strings are of "Regular" (10-46) gauge. They are slightly stiffer, providing a more powerful sound, better resonance, and longer sustain. They also hold their tuning more stably, especially if you play with a stronger attack (strum harder).

Key Features

• Balance: An ideal compromise between flexibility and sound thickness.
• Sound: Dynamic nickel-plated steel tone – suitable for various musical styles.
• Feel: Slightly more finger resistance than "Light" strings, allowing for better note control.
• Ends: Ball-End.
