Ernie Ball 2720 Cobalt Power Slinky Electric Guitar Strings

The Ernie Ball 2720 Cobalt Power Slinky Electric Guitar Strings, a set of strings that provide power and endurance for aggressive styles of playing. Made of a cobalt alloy, these strings have a stronger magnetic relationship with pickups than traditional nickel-plated steel, resulting in higher output, improved clarity and enhanced harmonic response. The Power Slinky gauge delivers chunky, distorted tones perfect for hard rock and heavy metal. Whether you're executing power chords, shredding solos or crushing drop tunings, the 2720 Cobalt Power Slinkys can handle it all while retaining intonation and tune.

Cobalt Construction Provides Unparalleled Output

The cobalt alloy at the core of these strings is the most magnetically active material used in string making today. This high-performance alloy strongly attracts the magnets in your pickups, translating to a hotter signal with beefed-up lows, focused mids and crisp highs. Notes ring out powerfully through high-gain amps and effects with improved note separation. The Power Slinky gauge—.011 to .048—is a favorite of hard rock and metal players for its ability to produce thick, distorted tones at lower tunings without going slack under heavy picking.

Built to Withstand Aggressive Playing Styles

Ernie Ball Cobalt Power Slinky Strings are designed for the demands of energetic rock and metal playing. The cobalt alloy provides superior strength over traditional nickel-plated steel strings which are prone to breaking under heavy picking and tuning down. These strings retain stable intonation even when tuned down significantly and have a slick, flexible feel that allows for speedy fretting and string bending. Players can dig into power chords and ripping leads without fear of string failure.
