GHS NICKEL ROCKERS-LOW TUNE-ROLLERWOUND PURE NICKEL

I DESIGNED THIS SET OF STRINGS FOR SRV WITH THE HELP OF GHS STRINGS, INC. WE NEEDED A SET OF STRINGS THAT WERE HEAVIER THAN MOST SETS IN THE 1980'S. WE HAD TO ORDER SINGLES TO CREATE A SET FOR STEVIE'S TONE AND TUNING, HE TUNED HIS GUITAR IN E-FLAT REGULAR TUNING. I FOUND THAT GHS HAD A SET OF STRINGS THEY MADE CALLED NICKEL ROCKERS. THIS SET EMPLOYED A WOUND STRING THAT WAS ROLLERWOUND OR AS THEY CALLED IT-SEMI-FLAT- THAT GAVE A BIT MORE TENSION. THIS WAS IMPORTANT AND GHS WAS THE ONLY MAKER AT THE TIME THAT DID THIS PROCESS. THUS THE PERFECT CHOICE FOR THIS SET. I CAME UP WITH THE GUAGES 0F- 011P, 015P, 019P, N28, N38, N58. THIS SET WAS IMPORTANT BECAUSE HE WAS USING HEAVIER STRINGS THAT BECAME A PROBLEM WITH WEAR AND TEAR ON HIS FINGERS. THIS SET WAS MORE COMFORTABLE AND WITH ALL THE TONE AND FLEXIBILITY HE NEEDED, ESPECIALLY USING PURE NICKEL WINDING.
