Description
Power Slinky sits a notch above Ernie Ball’s standard Slinky sets, giving players who dig in hard a heavier gauge combination that pushes back with more low-end weight and sustain. It’s the set of choice for guitarists chasing chunky, driving rhythm tones across rock, blues, and beyond — players like Slash, Metallica, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd have relied on this exact gauge for years.
Construction follows Ernie Ball’s proven formula: the wound strings pair nickel-plated steel wrap wire with a hex-shaped steel core, a combination that locks in tuning stability while delivering the bright-yet-warm balance nickel wraps are known for. The plain strings use specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, keeping the top end articulate and evenly matched against the wound strings below.
This listing is for a single pack, gauges .011 .014 .018p .028 .038 .048 — a thicker set for guitarists who want extra punch under aggressive picking or heavier riffing without stepping all the way up to a full Not Even Slinky gauge.
