Those are contact core strings, a/k/a exposed core. They seemed to be popular for a while about 10-15 years ago. They allegedly helped intonation in certain cases but I never saw how an exposed core sitting on the bridge saddle could give you a true overtone series up and down the neck. These may be LaBella Super Steps, but there are other brands.
