Description
There’s a reason pure nickel never went out of style. Fender’s Original 150 set brings back that rounded, woody warmth players chased before hotter alloys took over—strings that breathe instead of bite, with a softness under the fingers that dead strings just can’t fake.
- Pure nickel windings for classic, full-bodied tone
- Ball-end construction for easy, reliable installation
- Tuned to cut down on string squeak and finger noise while you play
- Packed in Fender’s signature tweed wrap
- This set: .009-.042 (also available in light, regular, and medium gauges)
At .009-.042, these sit on the lighter end—easy on the fretting hand, quick to bend, and still carrying enough body to keep chords sounding full rather than thin. That’s the trade-off pure nickel handles well: comfort without sacrificing warmth.
If your last set has gone dull, lost its snap, or started sounding flat under your amp, that’s your cue. A fresh set of pure nickel changes how a guitar responds almost instantly—more sustain up top, less clank, and that familiar smoothness back in your playing hand. Keep a few sets in the case. You’ll reach for them more often than you think.
