FenderClassic Core 255L Nickel-Plated Steel Ball End Light Guitar Strings
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Fender Classic Core 255L brings nickel-plated steel, ball ends, and round core wire to a .009–.042 light electric guitar set. Rather than using a modern hexagonal core, it uses a round core designed to feel settled as soon as the strings go on. Fender associates the set with more open lows, smoother highs, and extra flexibility for expressive bends, all within its light-gauge format.
