Another "What Strings Are These?" Thread - Please Help!

Hi all!

I can't remember if these are Fender 7250's or Ernie Ball Slinkys? I believe they are Fender's but couldn't tell. Any ideas?

Thanks!

If they were Fenders that were bought as a retail set (vs. factory strings) within the last 10 yrs, they should have colored ball ends (gold-red-silver-green) as they have been manufactured by D'Addario (since 2010). Ernie Ball Slinkys have always had those brass-colored ball ends.

By the way, whoever installed those strings did a terrible job the way the A strings is wrapped on the tuner post.

Thanks! Any way to tell if they are Slinkys or Cobalts?
