## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why do these strings turn my fingers black ? Anybody else had this problem ?**
A: Have you seen a picture of SRV’s fingers? Permanently black/grey from playing. Probably the wear of the metal. Frets and strings wear out from play due to friction

**Q: What’s the difference between hybrid and regular strings?**
A: The difference is the string gauges.  
The 9-11-16-26-36-46 is considered a "hybrid gauge" set.  
It has the 9-11-16 of their "super" slinky sets and the 26-36-46 of their "regular" sets.  So it's a hybrid of the 9s and 10s.  Hope that helps!

**Q: Are these strings round or hex core?**
A: From the Ernie Ball website (do a search for 2253) they say this: "Made from pure nickel wire wrapped around tin plated hex shaped steel core wire, these guitar strings produce a warm rich tone with that signature Slinky feel. Gauges .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, .042 " so according to Ernie Ball they are HEX CORE.

**Q: Which of the classic pure nickel slinky sets have unwound g (3rd) strings?**
A: All of the Ernie Ball Pure Nickel Slinky sets currently available have unwound 3rd strings. This particular brand denotes "w" next to the 3rd string gauge number to denote a wound 3rd. Notice no "w"s are present on any of the packages here, so no sets contain a wound 3rd.
