Ernie Ball EB-2223 Super Slinky Electric Guitar Strings – nickel-wound, gauges .009 .011 .016 .024 .032 .042, legendary Californian clarity
Grab your guitar and feel the instant glide of Super Slinky’s feather-light tension: silky bends, lightning vibrato and chord stacks that sparkle instead of bark. The secret lives in Ernie Ball’s nickel-plated steel wrap wire wound with surgical precision around a tin-plated hex-steel core—a recipe that keeps intonation laser-true while bathing every note in bright, balanced overtones. Power up your amp and those skinny trebles (.009-.016) slice through the mix like stained glass, while the wound trio (.024-.042) anchors rhythm parts with tidy, tuneful punch. From twangy California cleans to molten fuzz walls, EB-2223 honours the nuances of your pickups without adding harsh edges.
Decades of gigging have proved why Super Slinky is the session player’s standby: micro-polished surfaces fight corrosion, the core-wrap bond resists break-offs during radical dive-bombs, and the hermetically-sealed foil pack delivers factory-fresh zing every time you restring. Strats quack sweeter, Les Pauls sing longer and tremolo systems stay in check thanks to perfectly matched tensions.
