These pure-nickel, round-core Curt Mangan strings stand above everything else I’ve played, including DR`s, that was my No1 choice for many years— not just in tone, but in feel, response, and overall musicality.
The tone is absolutely fantastic.
Warm, vibrant, and full of life, with that classic vintage character only real pure nickel can deliver. Every note feels richer, more articulate, and more expressive.
I would absolutely recommend them to anyone who’s looking for top-tier, vintage-voiced electric guitar strings. If you want tone, feel, and musicality at the highest level, these pure-nickel, round-core strings are in a league of their own.
I am a lover of the old vintage gibson electric guitars. So this is the tone which I look for. I tried all the most recommended guitar strings manufacturers and especially the pure nickel round wounded strings. At last I tried the Curt Mangan strings and I recognise immediately that these were the perfect solution for me. Just after the first trial, I ordered a good reserve !!
I changed string gauge because I wanted to do something for my sore fingers yet still have the quality and the durability of the old Curt Mangan strings I was using before which were .10.38.
Of course, now mine is match made in heaven because, not only I can play better and my sore fingers disappeared, but the strings work much better with my pick and it even seems to me that I am faster on the fretboard.
So as I said, fantastic brand and I am truly a fan!
Guitar Pure Nickel (set & singles)
I bought the 10-38 set, which resembles the vibrate set from three sixties used by those cool guys back in the day - most prominently Mr James Marshall Hendrix. I put’ em on a vintage style white Strat and went directly a (reasonably) clean Marshall: the sound is vintage style warm, yet still superbly articulate in the high frequencies while round core adds not only to the feel but also to the mid frequencies - I never got that close to “little wing” and “castles made of sand”. When adding fuzz and wah three articulation of the strings remain at their best in the described terms. Compared to pure nickel strings of mass producers, Curt Mangan strings are in my personal view definitely superior.
