Is the 3rd string wound?

Hello, the third string in this set is plain. Thanks for your interest! Y2PLAY Stores 1-800-695-4808

Will these be good for a half-step o one-step down tunning from the standard eadgbe?

Been playing a 1987 fender stratocaster drop D full step with .008 - .038 strings for AGES without a problem. The heavier strings have more punch drop D or not but the lighter gauge strings don't buzz for me and I have a very low action guitar. If you want a really "bendy" guitar give it a try. That's what Jimmy Page played mostly and he did ok. If you play Alice in Chains like I do then drop D is important. Most of my drop D is a bit distorted and loud so through the pickups and amps plus effects there is zero string buzz. Give it a shot!

String diameters are labeled incorrectly in the color/model selection? Pink should be 9-42. Purple should be 11-48.

Yes. I believe you are correct. But I ordered these strings, and I got the .011 gauge, like I wanted.
