Description

Fender UltraCore Nickel Plated Steel 4250R strings are built for players who want their Stratocaster to feel tighter, sound clearer and stay in tune for longer. Combining a reinforced UltraCore high carbon steel core with a nickel plated steel wrap and Fender’s patented bullet ends, this 10 to 46 set delivers a punchy, articulate tone with rock solid tuning stability and excellent durability.

Whether you are gigging regularly, recording, or just want your everyday set to feel more consistent, UltraCore strings are designed to handle hard playing without choking your tone. The refined feel under the fingers, balanced tension across the set and precise intonation make them a great choice for everything from expressive bends to fast rhythm work.

The 4250R gauges of 10 to 46 offer a familiar, versatile feel that suits a wide range of styles, while the colour coded ball ends make string changes quick and straightforward. Made in the USA and engineered specifically to complement the Stratocaster bridge design, these strings provide enhanced sustain, clarity and tuning confidence every time you plug in.

UltraCore high carbon steel core

At the centre of each string is Fender’s reinforced UltraCore high carbon steel wire, engineered for strength, elasticity and consistent tuning. This robust core helps the strings hold pitch more reliably under aggressive playing, wide bends and frequent use of the tremolo, while still feeling responsive and musical.

Nickel-plated steel wrap

The UltraCore core is wrapped in premium nickel plated steel, giving a bright, clear top end with enough warmth to keep your tone full and musical. This combination enhances note definition and dynamic response, so riffs, chords and lead lines all cut through with clarity without sounding harsh.

Patented bullet end design

Fender’s bullet end design is made specifically to seat securely in a Stratocaster style tremolo block. This tight mechanical connection helps improve sustain and tuning stability, reducing the likelihood of string slippage and making the most of your guitar’s natural resonance.

Hex core construction & colour-coded ends

Hex core construction ensures the wrap wire grips the core evenly, promoting precise intonation and balanced tension across the set. Combined with colour coded ball ends, you get a set of strings that are both easy to install and reliably in tune, making maintenance quicker and less disruptive.

Key Features

  • Reinforced UltraCore high carbon steel: The strengthened UltraCore wire delivers excellent tuning stability and resilience under heavy playing, so your strings stay in tune for longer and withstand repeated bends and tremolo use.
  • Premium nickel-plated steel wrap: Nickel plated steel provides a bright yet musical tone with strong clarity and presence, helping every note stand out while still retaining warmth for clean and overdriven sounds.
  • Patented bullet end for Stratocaster: Designed to fit securely in Stratocaster style tremolo blocks, bullet ends enhance sustain and reduce tuning issues by improving the contact between string and bridge.
  • Balanced 10 to 46 regular gauges: The 4250R 10 to 46 gauge set offers a familiar, versatile feel that balances comfortable bending on the treble strings with a solid, controlled low end for rhythm work.
