Ernie Ball Hyper Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 8-42

Built for shredding solos and wide bends, these nickel-plated steel strings provide a light, slinky feel with slightly less tension on the high E, B and G strings. The Hyper Slinky set is perfect for lead players looking to boost speed and expression. Featuring gauges of .008, .011, .014, .024, .032 and .042, the Hyper Slinky strings deliver a balanced tone with enhanced playability for complex riffs and solos.

Lighter Tension Unlocks New Heights of Expression

With reduced tension on the first three strings, the Hyper Slinky set allows for wider bends, faster slides and effortless fretting. The slinkier feel makes it easy to add nuance and passion to your playing, enabling you to push the boundaries of lead guitar. The Hyper Slinky strings are ideal for shredding, with a light, quick response that keeps up with even the fastest fingers.

Nickel-Plated Steel Produces a Warm, Balanced Tone

The nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers a smooth, warm tone with rich overtones. The plating helps reduce fingernail squeaks and string noise, while enhancing string life. The tin-plated hex-shaped steel core provides a tight, focused tone. Together, these materials create a balanced sound with chimey highs, tight lows and a hint of midrange growl. The Hyper Slinky strings will bring out the best in any guitar, from solid body electrics to hollow bodies.
