Description
The Super Slinky set (2223) is one of Ernie Ball’s most reached-for gauges, and it’s easy to hear why. Guitarists like Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, and Angus Young have relied on this set for its combination of low tension and full-bodied tone, making it a go-to choice for players who want fast, easy bending without sacrificing punch.
Each wound string starts with a hex-shaped steel core, which grips the nickel-plated steel wrap wire tightly for consistent intonation and long-lasting stability. The plain strings are cut from specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel — a detail that helps keep the tonal character even across the entire set, so your low and high strings feel like they belong together.
This is a single pack containing the full six-string gauge set:
- .009 (plain)
- .011 (plain)
- .016 (plain)
- .024w (wound)
- .032 (wound)
- .042 (wound)
The lighter gauges on top make this set especially comfortable for lead playing, string bending, and vibrato-heavy styles, while the wound strings underneath hold their own for rhythm work. Whether you’re chasing classic rock tones or just want a dependable, well-balanced set for everyday playing, Super Slinky remains a benchmark for a reason.
