Ernie Ball 2220 Power Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings (11-48)

The Ernie Ball 2220 Power Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are the heavy-hitting favorite favored by rock, metal, and blues icons like Slash, Metallica, and Kenny Wayne Shepherd for their thick, powerful tone and increased structural tension. Serving as the ideal custom-medium configuration (.011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .048), this set is highly prized by players who prefer a stiffer feel for aggressive chunking, or those who drop-tune their instruments without losing string tension and clarity. Each string is meticulously constructed in Southern California using a high-tensile, tin-plated steel hex core wrapped in precision-drawn nickel-plated steel wire. This choice blend yields an incredibly stable foundation with enhanced break resistance, massive low-end chunk, rich midrange sustain, and a biting top-end that effortlessly cuts through any high-gain or clean mix.
