Frequently asked questions
- Will the PL012 from an acoustic set work on an electric?
- Yes. The same PL012 opens the phosphor bronze EJ16 acoustic set and the nickel EXL145 electric set; only the wound strings differ.
- In Nashville tuning, where does the .012 go?
- The EXL150H puts it fourth, as an octave D.
- Are plain .012 strings coated?
- Not this one: its steel wire stays bare.
