Does anyone know the difference between Fender Bullets and Super bullets?

I believe that Bullets are made of stainless steel and Super Bullets are nickel plated.

Hello Yodacaster & Miami,

150 = Nickel strings
250 = Nickel plated strings
350 = Stainlees Steel strings

Bullets are standard tension while
super bullets are a lower tension
alegedly better for tremolo users.

Cheers.

Can you tell me if the 350's are round wound or flat wound?

Seems like nobody local has them or knows much about them, so I'll have to order them online and there is no specific info, even on the Fender site.

Hello Flashback from the 60's,

350's are roundwound.

Cheers.

not to be a bummer here.... but i only use elixirs. now dont think im a snot that "only uses a certain brand"... but i have never NEVER EVER had an elixir string break on me. ever. they do get worn over time... but any string will. i use elixir lights on my acoustic and super lights on my electrics. iv only been using them for 3 years, but before that id play super bullets or ghs boomers. so i do have the experience.

story: i had the same set of (stock) elixir strings on my accoustic for one whole year before they got "hairy" and i replaced them. they are worth the extra cash... i promise.
