Description
Seven strings, one job: keep your tone even from the high E down to that low B without going flabby or brittle. Ernie Ball’s Power Slinky 7-String set wraps nickel-plated steel wire around a hex-shaped steel core, the combo that’s made Slinkys the go-to reference point for electric guitar strings for decades. That hex core is what gives these strings their bite and their ability to hold tune under bends.
The plain strings aren’t just leftover wire — they’re specially tempered, tin-plated high carbon steel, chosen to match the tonal balance of the wound set rather than clash with it. That matters more on a 7-string, where an uneven plain-to-wound transition gets obvious fast.
Gauges run .011 .014 .018p .028 .038 .048 .058, landing in that Power Slinky sweet spot: enough tension to track low riffs cleanly, still flexible enough for lead lines and vibrato on top.
- Nickel wound over hex steel core
- Tin-plated high carbon steel plain strings
- Full 7-string set, gauges .011-.058

If your low B has been sounding dead or your bends have gone stiff, that’s your cue. Fresh strings change how a guitar responds under your hands — string them up and feel the difference on the first chord.
