Question about D'Addario Nickels (or D'Addario Strings in general)

Sign in to disble this ad
Hey,

Strange question but I was wondering if D'Addario usually puts colored ends at the bottom of their strings (The part of the string near the bridge) Anyone have a pair that can confirm this?

Thanks in advance

The ball ends are always colored on D'Addario strings.

if you mean the ball ends to color code which string is which, yes. if you mean colored silk wrapping, only the chromes have it.

Yes, colored ends (balls at end of strings, not wraps).

I have these strings in nickel and really like them on my Musicman Bongo 5. YMMV.
