Description
Ernie Ball’s Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky set (2215) solves a common tuning dilemma: how do you get thunderous low-end drive without giving up the feel needed for fast lead work? This hybrid gauge configuration answers by keeping the plain strings light and flexible while thickening up the wound strings for added punch and lower tunings.
- Wound strings: nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core for consistent tension and lasting tone
- Plain strings: specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel for smooth bending and balanced brightness
- Gauges: .010 .013 .017 .030 .042 .052
The nickel-wrapped lower strings deliver a warm, articulate low end that holds up under palm muting and heavy riffing, while the tin-plated plain strings stay nimble for solos, bends, and vibrato. It’s a set built for guitarists who move between rhythm and lead without wanting to switch strings or setups.
Single pack, ready to install on your electric guitar for a rounded, road-tested tone that’s become a staple across rock and metal players’ setups.
