Corvette strings

Hi all, I have just bought a used Warwick corvette, and there is somthing strange I've noticed about the strings. They are stripped back at the ball end where they go over the saddles. If I changed to standard strings this will mean adjusting the string height. So when it comes round to replacing the strings do I have to buy a special set?. Are they just made by warwick ?. Or are there other manufacturers. I have never come across this before. Thanks Ian.

sounds like Piano String Design strings. (Rotosound?) I used to use them quite lot. They have a nice boing to them and are meant to have better sustain too.
You do set the saddles higher with this type. If you go back to conventional strings you'd want to drop the saddles a tad. I had heard the intonation may change a bit for the same gauge too, so that might need a tweak too.
