FenderClassic Core 255R Nickel-Plated Steel Ball End Electric Guitar Strings - (10-46)
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Fender Classic Core 255R is a nickel-plated steel electric guitar string set with ball ends, round core wire, and regular .010–.046 gauges. Its construction moves away from a modern hexagonal core in favor of a round one, which Fender presents as ready-feeling immediately after fitting. Expect the series’ stated balance of expanded lows, gentler highs, and added flexibility when bending notes expressively.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Regular-gauge electric guitar setups where expressive bending and softer highs are desired.
