• Titanium reinforced
• Treated with a micro-thin layer of enamel to prevent decay and corrosion
• All wound strings are treated with a micro-thin layer of enamel that prevents decay and corrosion up to five times more than uncoated sets
• In addition to treating the wound strings, Ernie Ball has taken it a step further by reinforcing the plain strings with a patented winding of titanium wire
• Titanium's inherent strength prevents string breakage, string slippage, and is proven to keep your guitar strings in tune better than conventional plain strings
