Description
Don’t let the “jazz set” nickname fool you — Ernie Ball’s Light Nickel Wound strings (gauge 2208) have found homes far beyond jazz players. Artists like Jack White, The Mars Volta, and Judas Priest have relied on this set’s wound G string for its distinct feel and articulate response, proving it’s just as at home in rock, pop, and alternative rigs.
Each wound string is built by wrapping nickel-plated steel wire around a hex-shaped steel core, a construction method that delivers strong magnetic output and consistent intonation up and down the neck. The plain strings are crafted from specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, rounding out the set with a tone that stays even and musical from the lows to the highs.
This listing includes three individual packs, so you’re covering multiple restrings or keeping a couple of spares on hand without having to reorder right away.
- String gauges: .011, .015, .022w (wound G), .030, .042, .052
- Nickel-plated steel wound around hex steel core
- Tin-plated high carbon steel plain strings
- 3-pack for extended use or backup sets
Whether you’re chasing a warm jazz-inflected clean tone or want extra bite for heavier styles, this set gives you a versatile foundation to build your sound on.
