No indications to nickel at all. **Q: Do these work decent for drop c and drop b?** A: I play in D standard, drop C , C# standard and they stay in tune just fine. There’s a period of adjustment (stretching) like any string. But they stay in tune well. And they don’t break nearly as often. Used to break strings @ the bridge but these don’t. I would go up a gauge for drop B for sure. But these are all I use for all my guitars (they make acoustic strings too) **Q: How many packs of stings do you get? I can get two for this amount at sweetwater!** A: All D'Addario's are available as single sets or in 3 packs. You didn't indicate the price. Single sets are $10.99 : 3 packs are $31.76. I don't use this set. I use Pro Steel .08's which I find too bright for general use. ## Frequently Bought Together - D'Addario Guitar Strings - ProSteels Electric Guitar Strings - Round Wound - Brighter, Crunchier, Increased Sustain - EPS520 - Super Light, 9-42 - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Ernie Ball Super Slinky Classic Pure Nickel Electric Guitar Strings, 9-42 Gauge (P02253) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/307965609-guitar-strings-prosteels-electric-guitar-strings-round-wound-brighter-crunchier](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/307965609-guitar-strings-prosteels-electric-guitar-strings-round-wound-brighter-crunchier) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-20*
