«  I prefer those »

Since I got my first Strat, I remained faithful to string Fender and more particularly to the pure nickel model with the original "bullets", that is to say, small warheads for the tremolo block. No balls therefore piece of string but full cap and long which is housed to perfection in their location, which ensures better performance of the agreement.
Pure nickel brings softness and warmth with stainless strings are, in part, lacking. Of course, the typical slamming the Stratocaster is still there!
To summarize, I find these more homogeneous and musical strings.
I even e choice for opting for Les Paul Gibson Vintage strings rather than the Brite.
Excellent.
