Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: in a set of silk and steel are the top strings the same as classical?

Nope.... They are steel and wound in silk.

Your question is a little vague due to the use of some innovative grammar, but I'll answer as best I can.

Most classical guitar string sets consist of 3 unwound strings (E, B, and G) and 3 wound strings (D, A, and low E). The unwound strings are single strand of nylon of appropriate thickness. The wound strings consist of a core of nylon filaments (which often look like silk) wrapped by a metal filament (usually plated copper).

So, the set of strings you describe sounds like classical strings.
