Ernie Ball Ultra Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings (10-48)

The Ernie Ball Ultra-Slinky electric guitar strings offer players a combination of light and heavy gages for tonally versatile and comfortable playing. Made of nickel-plated steel, these handmade strings provide a warm, balanced tone with longevity and corrosion resistance. The custom gage set of .010, .013, .017, .028, .038 and .048 blends the light playability of regular slinkys with the heavy low-end of power slinkys. This combination suits the needs of lead guitarists who want to bend easily without losing fullness for rhythm and chords.

Nickel-Plating Promotes Longevity and Warmth

The nickel plating on these strings helps prevent corrosion while promoting a warm tone. Players can enjoy the strings' balanced sound and feel for a long time before needing a change. The plating also helps the strings glide smoothly over the frets for comfortable playing and bending.

Hex Core Reduces Fret Buzz

The hexagonal core of these strings helps produce a clear, resonant tone with minimal fret buzz. The core's shape balances tension across the string for an even output. Players will appreciate the strings' ability to ring out fully without unwanted overtones.

Reputable Brand Used by Professionals

Ernie Ball is a prestigious brand that has earned a reputation for crafting high-quality strings used by famous rock musicians.

Versatile and Comfortable Playing

The light top-end and heavier bottom-end of these strings' gage set allows for versatile playing. Players can pick lightly, bend and solo easily on the lighter top strings. The heavier bottom strings still provide enough tension for solid rhythm and chords. This combination of light and heavy in one set gives players tonally balanced strings that suit both lead and rhythm techniques comfortably.
