M-Steel, short for maraging steel, is a superalloy used in high stress applications for the aerospace and defense industries. The wound strings are comprised of a patented Super Cobalt alloy wrapped around a maraging steel hex core wire, producing a richer and fuller tone with powerful low end response. M-Steel plain strings are comprised of a specially tempered steel for maximum fatigue resistance. A patented winding of steel around the ball end of the plain strings reduces slippage, breakage and stays in tune better than conventional plain strings.TONE PROFILEOutputTrebleMidBass10-46 | P02921 9-42| P02923 9-46 | P02922 11-48 | P02920 10-52 | P02915Ernie Ball - 2021 Product Catalog 15'
