Description
Before nickel-plated steel took over in the ’60s, pure nickel was THE wrap wire on electric guitar strings—and that’s exactly what you get here. D’Addario EPN115 is a Blues/Jazz Rock gauge set built with pure nickel wraps, giving you that rounder, softer-edged voice players chased back before brightness became the default. Think warm blues bends, smoky jazz chords, and rockabilly twang with none of the icy top end.
Gauge-wise you’re looking at a medium set: .011, .014, .018 plain steel on top, then .027, .037, .048 nickel wound. That combo keeps enough tension for solid pitch stability while staying comfortable under the fingers—no fighting stiff strings to get expressive vibrato.
Swap a dead set of nickel-plated steel for these and the difference is immediate: less shimmer, more body. It’s the tonal signature that shaped decades of blues and rock recordings, and it still holds up every time you restring.

If your current strings sound thin, harsh, or just tired, this is the reset button. Grab a set from StringRush and hear what pure nickel was originally built to do.
