The Ernie Ball Magnum Slinky (2618) is a 6-string nickel wound electric guitar string set in a heavy 12-56 gauge configuration. The standout feature here is the wound G string — a practical choice for players who need consistent tension and feel across all six strings, especially when tuning down. These are built for dropped tunings as low as Drop C, and the heavier gauges hold up well under the added string tension that lower tunings demand.
The wound strings are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core. Plain strings use specially tempered tin-plated high carbon steel. Each set is packaged in Ernie Ball's Element Shield packaging — an airtight barrier that keeps air and moisture out to preserve freshness right up until you open the pack. Strings are manufactured in Coachella, California.
