    Probably BG65 is the oldest string. It came out in the 1980’s.

    Other ‘old’ strings are BG80 and BG66 but not as old as BG65.

    I can't find definitive release dates for the strings on wikipedia or anything, but they do tend to do slight revisions

    BG 80 power, BG 80 Sharp instead of BG80. So those ones come out after the first.

    As Cheung said, BG65 is the oldest.

    They also have

    BG66
    BG80
    Nanogy98
    Aerosonic
    Skyarc (never heard of)
    Nanogy 99
    Aerobite (some aerosonic and another string iirc)

    And then the two exbolts you described.
