Description
Ernie Ball has been shaping the sound of rock guitar since 1962, and the Paradigm line represents the biggest leap forward in string engineering the company has made. This Power Slinky set in gauges .011, .014, .018p, .028, .038, .048 delivers the same responsive, Slinky feel players have relied on for decades, now paired with construction designed to survive far longer under heavy use.
At the core is Ernie Ball’s ultra-high strength steel, used in both the plain and wound strings, along with a patented reinforced ball-end twist on the plain strings. This combination boosts tensile strength by up to 37% and fatigue resistance by up to 70% compared to conventional sets, so strings settle into tune quickly and stay there through aggressive bends, drop tunings, and hard picking.
Longevity gets equal attention. A plasma-enhanced treatment on the wrap wire fights corrosion, while Ernie Ball’s Everlast nano-coating pushes back sweat, oils, and grime that normally dull tone over time — all without the flaking or altered feel sometimes associated with coated strings.
Because Ernie Ball stands behind this technology, Paradigm sets come with the industry’s first fully backed guarantee: if a string breaks or rusts within 90 days, it will be replaced.
