Two-tone strings?

You sure don't see these every day.
Yes, Ibanez BTB.

I missed out on a set and still regret it.
I also asked if they ever considered making red tapewounds and they actually said "That's something we'd like to do" but that was years ago and I haven't seen any yet.
If you sign up for their Roadie Club, they notify you when they drop a new Bubby set. They do them a couple of times a year and they change colors every time. But they usually sell out.

These are ibanez brand strings that were discontinued a long time ago. There was a reddit thread about this same photo a few months back.
The only manufacturer I know that makes anything similar these days is Magma strings but they are phosphor bronze
