Description
Ernie Ball’s Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky set translates a fan-favorite 6-string gauge concept into a 7-string configuration. The idea is simple but effective: keep the top strings light enough for expressive bends and lead phrasing, while beefing up the lower strings to hold tight, punchy low end for riffing and rhythm work.
- Gauges: .010, .013, .017, .030, .042, .052, .062
- Nickel wound construction for a balanced tone with warmth and bite
- Skinny top strings (.010-.017) make bending and vibrato feel natural
- Heavy bottom strings (.030-.062) deliver solid low-end definition for drop tunings and heavier styles
- Designed specifically for 7-string electric guitars
This set suits players who split their time between lead and rhythm duties on a 7-string instrument. The lighter high strings keep solos fluid and comfortable, while the reinforced low strings maintain clarity and tension for palm-muted chugging or extended-range chord voicings. It’s a practical middle ground for guitarists who don’t want to compromise between playability up top and power down low.
Model 2615 from Ernie Ball, a trusted name for players who need consistent, dependable strings set after set.
