For over 60 years, Ernie Ball have been making their strings in the USA. Ernie Ball have been the premier choice of musicians around the world. In 1962, Ernie pioneered electric guitar strings by creating new recipes that would become the voice of Rock and Roll and inspire musicians for generations to come. Manufactured in Coachella, California. Made from the finest materials using state-of-the-art winding technology while undergoing strict quality control standards. To give you the best possible playing experience.
Ernie Ball Guitar Strings are iconic. From the Nickel Wound Slinkys, Stainless Steel Strings and Cobalt Flats. Nickel Wound electric guitar strings are the industry standard. These strings have a nickel-plated steel wrap wire, providing a bright, balanced tone. For a warmer, vintage tone try Slinky Classics, which use a pure nickel wrap wire. On the other side of the spectrum, Stainless Steel Slinkys deliver a bright tone. They have the perfect match for any kind of guitar player and playing style.
Used by some of the greatest bass players in the world. Including Paul McCartney, Tony Levin, Mark Hoppus, Mike Herrera, Johnny Christ, Dave La Rue, John Myung, and Juan Alderete. From their Hybrid Slinky Flatwound Bass Strings made with Cobalt are incredibly unique to the their range. Giving you the feel of Flats, but the tone of Rounds.
