Description
Ernie Ball’s Super Slinky set (2223) is a go-to gauge for players chasing bendability without sacrificing tone, and this listing bundles three sets so you’re never caught mid-tour or mid-session without a fresh pack.
- Gauges: .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, .042
The wound strings pair nickel-plated steel wire with a hex-shaped steel core, a combination chosen for its stability and its ability to hold tuning through aggressive playing. The plain strings use specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, which keeps the set balanced across the neck — bright enough on top, warm enough on the bottom, with nothing fighting for attention.
This is the exact gauge favored by guitarists like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Angus Young, players who built entire tonal identities around light-but-playable strings capable of expressive bends and vibrato. Ernie Ball manufactures each set to tight tolerances, so what you get is consistent from pack to pack: predictable feel, dependable intonation, and a lifespan that holds up to regular gigging.
Whether you’re restringing a Les Paul, a Strat, or any electric guitar that likes a slightly loose, responsive feel under the fingers, the Super Slinky 9-42 set delivers that familiar rock-and-roll snap. Buying three at once means less time thinking about strings and more time playing them.
