Description
Paradigm represents Ernie Ball’s most significant leap forward in string engineering since the original Slinky launched decades ago. Built on ultra-high strength steel used throughout both the plain and wound strings, this Super Slinky set adds a patented reinforcement at the ball-end twist of each plain string, boosting tensile and fatigue resistance where breakage typically starts. The payoff is a set that tunes up quickly, stays locked in under aggressive bends and heavy picking, and holds its edge through demanding sets.
Durability doesn’t stop at the core. Ernie Ball’s Everlast nano-treatment works alongside a plasma-enhanced wrap wire to fight off corrosion and keep sweat, oils, and grime from building up on the string surface. Unlike many coated strings, none of this treatment alters the feel under your fingers or dulls the tone – you get longer-lasting strings with zero compromise on the response players expect from a Slinky set.
Ernie Ball stands behind Paradigm with a first-of-its-kind guarantee: if a set breaks or rusts within 90 days, they’ll replace it. Gauges are .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, .042 – the familiar Super Slinky spread, now engineered to last.
- Up to 37% greater tensile strength than standard string sets
- Up to 70% greater fatigue strength than standard string sets
- New wire-drawing process with RPS technology preserves full string strength
- Plasma-enhanced wrap wire improves corrosion resistance
- Everlast nano-treatment repels oils, sweat, and buildup
- Classic Slinky tone and feel, with no flaking or altered response
