Ernie Ball Guitar Strings have been a top choice for players of all types since the early 1960s, when guitarists came into Ernie Ball's music store, customizing their Guitar Strings gauges to make their axes easier to play. After fruitless attempts to interest major guitar manufacturers in a lighter set of Guitar Strings, Ernie Ball decided to start making his own Guitar Strings. When you open a pack of his strings today, you know you're getting a quality set of Guitar Strings designed to give you great tone, reliable performance, and long life. You can't go wrong when you string up with Ernie Ball Guitar Strings!

Ernie Ball's Slinky electric guitar strings are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core wire. The plain Guitar Strings use a patented winding of bronze wire tightly wrapped around the lock twist of ball end for reduced slippage and breakage, making them slightly bright. They're popular with artists ranging from Keith Richards to John Petrucci.
