A fusion of Super and Regular Slinky for balanced tone

The 2222 Nickel Hybrid Slinky strings feature a combination of Super Slinky and Regular Slinky gages, with lighter strings on the higher frets and heavier strings on the lower frets. This provides balanced tension and intonation across the fretboard, with the brightness and "slinkiness" of Super Slinky strings on the high frets and the fullness and warmth of Regular Slinky strings on the low frets. The result is a set that can handle both articulate single-note runs and chunky power chords with equal ease.

Precision-made for consistency and longevity

All Ernie Ball strings are precision manufactured in the USA to strict quality standards, ensuring consistent tone, feel and intonation in every set. The nickel-plated steel wrap wire is tightly and evenly wound around a hex-shaped steel core for maximum mass and output. The plain steel strings are made of specially tempered high-carbon steel for strength, tone and longevity. Properly cared for, a set of Ernie Ball strings can last through multiple shows before needing a change.
