Anyone have any info on these? A banner pops up on Ernie Ball's website advertising the new M-Steel strings, but I can't find anything about them?

The whole point is with using maraging steel for the core, as it has more tensile strength and can take more abuse than "regular" stainless steel, which is supposed to lessen string breakage. Golf club heads are also made out of maraging steel.

Neat! I wonder if they will come to our world also? Not that I break strings, but I like output and clarity!

The stee strings will not be out to the public. I have been able to try them as a family member works at their Factory at coachella. Engineers there were trying to push these into production but during production the string broke too much and was ultimately unusable.

Wait... The break resistant string broke too much?
