If you've ever wondered what strings John Mayer actually plays, here's your answer in a very shareable format. The Ernie Ball Silver Slinky set was developed directly with Mayer to nail the gauges and tension ratios he uses — and this 3-pack tin gives you three individually wrapped sets to keep on hand.
These are nickel wound electric guitar strings built around a gauge combination that didn't exist before this collaboration: 10.5, 13.5, 17.5, 27, 37, and 47. That half-step offset from a standard 10 or 11 set gives you a feel that sits right between those two common options. The plain strings use Ernie Ball's Reinforced Plain String (RPS) technology, which wraps a patented brass winding around the ball-end lock twist to reduce slippage and breakage right where strings most commonly fail. Each string is also built to specific core-to-wrap ratios tuned for consistent tension balance across the whole set. The three sets come packaged in a reusable collector's tin.
