Description
Often labeled a “jazz” gauge because of its wound G string, this Ernie Ball Light Nickel Wound set stretches well beyond that genre. Artists like The Mars Volta, Jack White, and Judas Priest have relied on this configuration for everything from alternative and pop to hard rock, proving its versatility across playing styles.
Each set runs .011 .015 .022w .030 .042 .052. The wound strings pair nickel-plated steel wire with a hex-shaped steel core, giving them a smooth response and stable pitch, while the plain strings use specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel for clarity and even balance across the fretboard. Together, the construction delivers a full, well-rounded tone that suits a wide range of amps and playing techniques.
This listing includes six individual packs of the 2208 Light gauge, making it an efficient way to keep your electric guitar strung and ready without reordering every time a set wears out.
