{"product_id":"extra-slinky-blue","title":"Ernie Ball Extra Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings (.008-.038)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIf you want the lightest end of the Slinky gauge spectrum, the Extra Slinky set is the one. The .008–.038 gauge combination keeps tension low across all six strings, which makes everything from wide bends to fast runs feel noticeably easier under your fingers. These are a go-to for players who like to move quickly up and down the neck without fighting the strings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe wound strings are built from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated, hex-shaped steel core. The plain strings use specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel. Together they deliver a well-balanced tone — not overly bright, not dull — that works well across a wide range of playing styles and electric guitar setups. Ernie Ball packs these in Element Shield packaging to keep strings fresh right up until you open the pack, and the ball ends are color-coded to make string changes a little faster.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNickel-plated steel wrap wire wound around tin-plated hex-shaped steel core\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePlain strings made from specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eExtra light gauge set: .008, .011, .014, .022w, .030, .038\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLow tension for easy bending and fast fretwork\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eColor-coded ball ends for quick string identification\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eElement Shield packaging keeps strings fresh before use\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 Extra Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e P02225\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e New\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSince 1872, C.A.
