the insides of the strings are steel because they are a strong metal and it is magnetic so the magnets in the guitar pickups will you guessed it ...pick it up.
the core metal tends to stick to steel but what the strings are wound with around can be nickel , bronze (acoustic strings) or just more steel depending on the sound. Steel is the highest sound , bronze is the lowest.
the pro to using nickel is your Guitars frets (metal that you press down to achieve notes) will last longer than with steel. Nickel strings tend to be cheaper and best of all 90% of strings are nickel.
