{"product_id":"cobalt-hybrid-slinky","title":"Ernie Ball Cobalt Hybrid Slinky Electric Guitar Strings","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Ernie Ball Cobalt Hybrid Slinky (P02722) is a set of six round-wound electric guitar strings in a .009–.046 gauge spread. The \"Hybrid\" part means it pairs the lighter upper strings of the Super Slinky (.009, .011, .016) with the heavier lower strings of the Regular Slinky (.026, .036, .046) — a practical middle ground if you want easy bending and lead work up top without sacrificing body on the bottom three.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this set apart from a standard nickel-wound string is the cobalt alloy wrap. The wound strings use an iron\/cobalt alloy wound around a hex-shaped steel core, while the plain strings are tin-plated high-carbon steel. Cobalt has a stronger magnetic relationship with your pickups than nickel, which translates to more output and a livelier response right out of the pack. The round-wound construction keeps the feel familiar — silky and pliable under the fingers — while the cobalt material adds some extra clarity and definition on both ends of the frequency spectrum. Made in California.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eGauges: .009, .011, .016, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWound strings: Cobalt\/Iron alloy wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain strings: Tin-plated, high-carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRound-wound construction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHybrid gauge combines Super Slinky highs with Regular Slinky lows\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMade in California, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ernie Ball\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cobalt Hybrid Slinky\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e P02722\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
