Ernie Ball's Extra Slinky Cobalt strings (P02725) are a full set of electric guitar strings in an ultra-light .008–.038 gauge. They're built around Ernie Ball's cobalt alloy formulation — a blend of iron and cobalt that produces a stronger magnetic interaction with your pickups than conventional nickel or steel strings. The result is a noticeable boost in output and detail straight from the source, without any post-processing tricks.
The wound strings wrap Ernie Ball's cobalt alloy around a tin-plated high-carbon steel core wire. That combination gives the strings a flexible, pliable feel that makes bending comfortable, especially at the lighter Extra Slinky tension. The plain strings are made from specially tempered, tin-plated high-carbon steel. These are made in California, USA.
