The Ernie Ball 2722 Hybrid Slinky Cobalt strings are a 6-string electric guitar set that combines the lighter gauges of the Super Slinky (.009–.016) on the treble strings with the heavier gauges of the Regular Slinky (.026–.046) on the wound strings. That hybrid spread gives you easier bending on the high strings while keeping a full, solid feel on the lows — a setup that suits a lot of playing styles without compromise.
What sets these apart from standard nickel-wound strings is the material: an alloy of cobalt and iron wrapped around a hex steel core. That cobalt blend produces a stronger magnetic relationship with your pickups than conventional nickel, which translates to higher output, more defined low end, improved midrange focus, and clearer highs. The feel is notably smooth and pliable under the fingers, making bends feel effortless. Ernie Ball packages these in their Element Shield foil packaging to keep the strings fresh until you're ready to use them.
