The Ernie Ball 2722 Cobalt Hybrid Slinky Electric Guitar Strings are a revolutionary set of strings that provide guitarists an unparalleled playing experience. Constructed from an alloy of cobalt and iron, these strings offer a stronger magnetic relationship with pickups than traditional nickel-wound strings. The result is a wider dynamic range, fuller low end, clearer highs, and improved harmonic response.

Cobalt Construction Provides Powerful Tone

The Ernie Ball 2722 strings are part of the brand's Cobalt series, composed of an alloy of cobalt and iron that produces a more powerful tone than standard nickel-wound strings. The cobalt attracts pickups more strongly, which translates into higher output, beefier bass, focused mids, crisp treble, and sustain that seems to last for days. The tone is modern and muscular, perfect for players seeking a contemporary rock and metal sound.

Hybrid Gage Set Provides Versatility

As a hybrid set, the 2722 combines the popular Super Slinky and Regular Slinky gauges, with lighter strings on the higher strings for ease of bending and heavier strings on the lower strings for fullness. The set contains gauges from .009 to .046, providing a balance of flexibility and power. The hybrid configuration suits guitarists who play in a range of styles, from shredding solos to rumbling rhythm parts.
