The Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky Cobalt strings are a 6-string electric guitar set in a hybrid 10-52 gauge configuration. The lighter treble strings (.010-.017) make bending and fast lead work easier, while the heavier wound strings (.030-.052) keep the low end full and defined — a practical middle ground if you play both leads and chunky rhythms on the same guitar.
What sets the Cobalt Slinky apart from standard nickel wound strings is the winding material. The wound strings use an iron/cobalt alloy wrap over a steel core, which produces a stronger magnetic interaction with your pickups than other alloys. The result is a noticeably broader dynamic range and stronger signal output. The strings are round wound and uncoated, and Ernie Ball makes them in California using a tin-plated high-carbon steel core wire for the wound strings.
