These are both Nickel Plated Steel, not Pure Nickel!

Yes with good brand names should suit a lot of people who want that gauge size.
James , maybe you can report back to us your findings once fitted

Those look a little on the light side for me. I favour Ernie Ball Beefy Slinky ( .011, .015, .022p, .030, .042, .054) but I swap the plain 3rd for a .024 wound.

They also advertise a "Stuart Griffin" 5-string (!) guitar set.

I've never seen anyone in "Family Guy" play the guitar.
