Get Great Playing Comfort and Great Tone with Slinky Strings!

Ernie Ball strings have been a top choice for players of all types since the early 1960s, when guitarists came into Ernie Ball's music store, customizing their string gauges to make their axes easier to play. After fruitless attempts to interest major guitar manufacturers in a lighter set of strings, Ernie Ball decided to start making his own. When you open a pack of his strings today, you know you're getting a quality set of strings designed to give you great tone, reliable performance, and long life. You can't go wrong when you string up with Ernie Ball strings!

Ernie Ball's Super Slinky Pink electric guitar strings are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core wire. They offer a great balanced sound that's neither bright nor too dark.

Best Strings to use hands down if you have a Floyd Rose equipped guitar!

Absolutely love the sound and feel of these Super Slinky's! Have them on my Jackson Kelly JS32 w/ a licensed Floyd Rose and love these! I have Beefy Slinky's on my Stratocaster (have it tuned to Drop C#, my Kelly is in Standard E) absolutely my favorite strings from here on out. I used to use D'Addarios on my strat (Didn't buy my Kelly until here recently)

Ernie Ball Strings Are #1

My LTD EC1000 originally came with 10-46 gauge strings, D'Addario, which were just fine but after a while I decided I to switch to 9 gauge strings for easier playing and higher pitch. I play Black Metal which typically is higher pitch than other genres of Metal. Upon installation the new set of 9-42 Ernie Ball strings my guitar instantly felt and sounded better. I swear by Ernie Ball. Do yourself a favor though and just buy the 3 pack, it doesnt hurt to have a couple back up packs.

Great Electric Guitar Strings

I have used the Ernie Ball Super Slinkys on 2 Les Pauls and a Squier Sratocaster, and they sound great. I have not broken a string yet, but then I do not play long periods of time either. I am very please with the tone quality from them and they seem to stay in tune well. I would recommend these strings to anyone looking for a .009 set of stings for an electric guitar.

Alan Carter

My sales associate Alan Carter is in my opinion the best in the business! He's always ready to give me the best service possible and his willingness to make me a satisfied customer shows! His response time is top notch and he is always "Johnny on the spot" getting my orders processed and shipped. I recommend him for accommodations and serious recognition!!
