Who are Ernie Ball Classic Rock n Roll strings for?

Compared to standard Nickel Plated Steel strings, pure nickel offers a smoother, less aggressive magnetic response with pickups. The result is a naturally softer top end that reacts beautifully to your guitar’s volume control. A great choice for players who want firmer-feeling lower strings and an authentic old-school electric guitar sound.
