If you play a 12-string electric, you know how tricky it can be to find strings that feel manageable without sacrificing tone. Ernie Ball's 2230 12-String Slinky set is built specifically for the job — six pairs of strings spanning a .008-.040 gauge range, light enough to keep the doubled-string tension comfortable while still delivering the full, chiming sound a 12-string is known for.
The wound strings use nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core, while the plain strings are made from specially tempered tin-plated high carbon steel. That construction gives you a well-balanced response across all six courses. Strings measure 39.5" in length, and the full set comes sealed in Ernie Ball's Element Shield foil packaging to keep them fresh right up until you install them. The distinctive green packaging is exactly what you'd expect from a classic Slinky set.
