Veritas electric guitar strings maintain their tone, tuning stability and intonation thanks to our coated core technology, a process of coating The round core Wire, which locks the wrap wire in place and extends string life by protecting the core from corrosion. A Quantum nickel wrap wire delivers more power, brighter tone and greater flexibility and responsiveness. All veritas sets include both standard plain steel and xenon power-plain strings, which have increased output to balance with the wound strings.
