Description

Ernie Ball Coated Slinky Electric Strings combine the latest technological advances in string manufacturing. All wound strings are treated with a micro-thin layer of enamel that prevents decay and corrosion up to five times more than uncoated sets. In addition to treating the wound strings, Ernie Ball has taken it a step further by reinforcing the plain strings with a patented winding of titanium wire.

Titanium's inherent strength prevents string breakage, string slippage, and is proven to keep your guitar strings in tune better than conventional plain strings. Ernie Ball Coated Slinky strings maintain the feel and sound of uncoated sets, combining the added protection with the vibrant tone Ernie Ball customers have relied on for over 50 years. Perfect match for those who want to avoid string breakage.

    I do a lot of string bending and it's difficult to bend the wound G string on acoustic guitars. For the past couple of years, I've played Ernie Ball Extra Slinky strings on my acoustic guitar (purists are gasping I know) and the G string is a bit brassy so I decided to try titanium strings because they are supposed to be less bright. If you want to experiment with your acoustic guitar, I suggest that you give it a shot because in my experience, the 3125 strings solve this problem. They also seem to stay in tune better.

  • Great strings!

    I put these on my little boy's mini-strat. They are SO light and easy to bend!

    These strings sounded good when I first put them on, but the bottom strings are weak and floppy. This is no good for Metal. Maybe a heavier gauge would work better, but I think next time I'm going to switch back to Elixirs or try something new.
