Description
When your fretting hand craves speed and your ears still demand warmth, Extra Slinky is the set that keeps both happy. This Ernie Ball 2225 pack pairs nickel-plated steel windings with a hex-shaped steel core, the combo that’s defined classic electric tone for decades. The unwound strings use tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, so bends stay smooth and chords stay balanced instead of clanky.
At .008-.038, this is the lightest gauge in the Slinky lineup — built for players who love string-bending gymnastics, low action, and quick finger work. Swap out a tired set on stage or in the practice room and you’ll notice the difference immediately: brighter attack, tighter tuning stability, and none of the dull, rubbery feel that dead strings leave behind.
- Gauges: .008 .011 .014 .022w .030 .038
- Nickel-plated steel wrap over hex steel core
- Tin-plated high carbon steel plain strings
- Single pack, ready to restring one guitar
Whether you’re chasing lead lines or just refusing to play on strings past their prime, keeping a few packs of Extra Slinky in your gig bag means you’re never one broken string away from missing a set. Fresh strings, fresh tone, every time.
