The Ernie Ball Power Slinky 7-String Electric Guitar Strings. Made for 7-string electric guitars, these nickel-plated steel strings are built to handle the extended range while maintaining the balanced tone Ernie Ball strings are known for. The wound strings feature nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core, while the plain strings are made of specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel. This combination produces clear, full highs, tight lows, and a punchy midrange perfect for the hard rock and metal genres. The Ernie Ball Power Slinky 7-String Electric Guitar Strings let 7-string players experience Ernie Ball's iconic Slinky tone and feel.

Nickel-Plated Steel for Projection and Playability

The nickel plating on the wound strings adds projection and sustain while resisting corrosion and buildup. This allows the strings to stay clear and responsive even under heavy playing. The nickel plating is also easier on frets compared to uncoated strings, reducing fret wear over time. Meanwhile, the tin plating on the plain strings balances out the tone and feel. This combination of metals gives the Power Slinky 7-String strings a slick, fast feel that facilitates intricate riffs and solos.

Hex Core for Fat yet Balanced Tone

At the heart of the Power Slinky 7-String's fat yet balanced tone is the hex-shaped steel core. The hex core provides more mass and surface area than round cores, creating full lows and mids. But because the core is steel rather than nickel, it avoids becoming too boomy. Paired with the nickel-plated and tin-plated strings, the hex core helps create a tone that's ideal for the extended low end of 7-string guitars.

Precision Manufactured for Consistency

Like all Ernie Ball strings, the Power Slinky 7-String Electric Guitar Strings are precision manufactured to strict tolerances. This meticulous process, combined with high-quality materials, ensures each set of strings has a consistent feel and tone. Guitarists can have confidence they'll get the performance they expect from Ernie Ball every time they put on a new set.

Complete Your Sound with Power Slinky

For 7-string players seeking balanced tone, effortless playability, and long string life, the Ernie Ball Power Slinky 7-String Electric Guitar Strings are an excellent choice. Experience the difference premium strings can make to your tone and feel.

Small price, great value

Bought this set since it was the heaviest gauge set available for 7 string in Ernie Ball, theyre decent strings, just a little floppy and the range in gauge size between each string is kinda much, this set is great for drop tuning in A, not any lower

    They get the job done and seem to be holding up. I usually run NYXL or buy custom gauge from StringJoy, but these will work in a pinch!

  • I freaking love these strings

    I have a seven string that I usually play knocked loose,, motionless in white covers on I tend to strum pretty hard and thankfully with these strings I can without having to worry about breaking them. But when I do! I will buy these again! And the price isn't bad either. 10 stars out of 5!

  • I would definitely buy these strings again

    They are perfect for heavy chugs, the strings really give out a great tone and they feel really good. If you have a 7 string definitely buy these strings. #sweepstakes
