Ernie Ball String Explorer: Electric Slinky Nickel Wound HH

The Ernie Ball Ultra Slinky 10–48 electric guitar strings are constructed of nickel-plated steel wrap wire and tin-plated high carbon steel hex core wire and are built to handle the demands of high-performance playing. The Ultra Slinky gauge provides a slinky, flexible feel that facilitates speedy solos and complex chording. The nickel-plated wrap wire creates a warm, balanced tone with punchy mids, crisp highs and tight, defined lows. Whether you play hard rock, metal or progressive styles, the Ernie Ball Ultra Slinky strings will elevate your tone and playing to new heights.
Ultra-Flexible 10–48 Gauge Facilitates Speed and Articulation
The Ultra Slinky 10–48 gauge offers a loose, bendable feel that allows fast fretting hand movement across the fretboard. The light bottom end provides clarity and snap, while the medium top end creates sustain and tension ideal for expressive vibrato and string bending. Shredders and lead players will love the effortless playability of these slinky strings.
Nickel-Plated Wrap Wire Produces a Warm, Balanced Tone
The nickel-plated steel wrap wire gives the Ultra Slinky strings a balanced tone with emphasized mids, clear highs and tight lows. The nickel plating softens the attack and enhances sustain and resonance. Overall, these strings have a vintage-voiced tone that pairs well with humbucker and overdrive tones.
Built to Withstand the Rigors of High-Performance Playing
From Ernie Ball, a company that has been producing premium guitar strings for over 50 years, the Ultra Slinky strings are constructed to meet the demands of accomplished rock and metal guitarists. The tin-plated hex core provides corrosion resistance and durability, while the nickel wrap wire allows for a long-lasting, consistent tone.

I love the quality of these strings. I particularly like the idea of a 3 pack, as I have always got another guitar needing a fresh set installed. These are the best!

I've gone up and down the spectrum of the slinky series strings, and these gauges are my favorite. I buy these three at a time to save a couple bucks and always have a spare couple sets for my three electrics between restrings. If you're looking for a nice set of electric strings that you'll actually want to swap out every 3 months or so, these are the ones I recommend.
