Description

The Ernie Ball Power Slinky Electric Guitar Strings are precision-engineered for musicians craving thicker gauges and bolder sounds. Favored by rock and blues legends like Slash, Metallica and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Power Slinkys feature nickel-plated steel wires and tin-plated steel cores for a balanced tone and long-lasting performance. The .011-.048 gauge combination provides the slightly heavier feel and fuller resonance preferred by many rhythm players and lead guitarists alike. These iconic strings can unleash your own powerful rock riffs and soulful blues solos.

Nickel-Plated Steel Wires for Warm, Articulate Tone

The nickel plating on Power Slinky wound strings adds warmth, richness and clarity to your tone. Nickel provides an articulate, musical quality that helps each note sing through. The wound strings' hex-shaped steel cores also enhance sustain and reduce unwanted overtones. Combined with the heavy bottom end of the .011-.048 gauge range, Power Slinkys produce a thick, chunky tone perfect for hard rock and blues.

Specially Tempered Steel Cores for Pitch Stability

Power Slinkys are made from tin-plated, high-carbon steel, specially tempered to hold their pitch. The tin plating prevents corrosion while the steel cores' stiffness translates into a quick, responsive feel with solid intonation. Power Slinkys' combination of nickel-plated wound strings and tempered steel plain strings results in a balanced set that sounds full and muscular, yet still plays with precision.

Legendary Quality and Performance

As pioneers of the rock guitar string, Ernie Ball is dedicated to quality, consistency and musicality. Power Slinkys are precision manufactured in California to Ernie Ball's strictest specifications and highest standards. The result is a set of strings that feels and sounds as good as the hottest rock and blues players demand. Unleash your own powerful riffs and soulful solos with the legendary tone of Ernie Ball Power Slinky strings.
