Ernie Ball Extra Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Strings (2225)

Description

Ernie Ball’s Extra Slinky set (2225) pairs nickel-plated steel windings with a hex-shaped steel core, a construction choice that keeps tuning stable while delivering the punchy, well-rounded voice nickel wound strings are known for. The lighter gauges make this set a favorite for players who value fast, low-effort bending and fretting without sacrificing tonal warmth.

The plain strings are drawn from specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, which helps the whole set stay in tune with the wound strings and contributes to the balanced output across the neck.

Gauges included in this single pack:

• .008
• .011
• .014
• .022w
• .030
• .038

This ultra-light configuration suits electric guitarists chasing effortless playability – whether for lead lines, expressive vibrato, or lower-tension setups – while still holding onto the classic nickel wound character String Central customers expect from Ernie Ball.
