Dean Markley Helix HD Nickel Plated
The Dean Markley Hyper-Elliptical Winding process uses an elliptically shaped winding wire. This results in an increased number of wraps along the length of the string which increases the mass of the string, without changing its diameter. More mass makes a fuller tone and increases tension; more windings give a smoother feel as well as a brighter, more resonant tone.

Dean Markley Vintage Electric Re-Issue
Dean Markley‘s Vintage Electric Re-Issue strings, are nickel-plated steel hand-wound slowly over a round core, which affords the outer string wrap to have 100% contact with the core wire. This allows the string to vibrate completely for maximum sustain, creating a warm, full sound distinctive of classic rock and roll. This Re-Issued Vintage Electric is the exact same string, with the exact same formula, as the original Vintage Electric that became so world famous.
