Description
This Ernie Ball .048 gauge string is wound with nickel-plated steel wire around a tin-plated, hex-shaped steel core — the same construction Ernie Ball uses across its Nickel Wound electric sets. The hex core provides a solid anchor for the wrap wire, giving the string consistent intonation and a stable feel string to string.
Where plain (unwound) strings in this family use specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, the wound gauges like this .048 rely on the nickel wrap to deliver that familiar warm-yet-articulate electric guitar voice — bright enough to cut through a mix, but never harsh.
Handy for players who like to keep a stash of individual gauges on hand for custom sets, quick swaps, or repairing a broken string without opening a full pack. Pairs naturally with the other gauges in Ernie Ball’s standard Nickel Wound lineup, including .008, .011, .014, .022w, .030, and .038.
