Description
Ernie Ball’s 2208 Light set carries the nickname “jazz set” thanks to its wound G string, a construction detail that sets it apart from the standard Slinky line. Don’t let the label fool you, though — guitarists across rock, alternative, and pop have relied on this configuration, including players like The Mars Volta, Jack White, and Judas Priest.
Each wound string is built by wrapping nickel-plated steel wire around a hex-shaped steel core, a combination chosen for its stable pitch and warm, articulate response. The plain strings use specially tempered tin-plated high carbon steel, rounding out a set that stays balanced and even from string to string.
