The Ernie Ball Mighty Slinky fills the gap between the popular Super Slinky (9-42) and Extra Slinky (8-38) sets. If you've ever felt like 9s are just a touch too heavy but 8s feel a little flimsy, this 8.5-40 gauge set is worth a look. You get the light, responsive feel of an extra-light string set without going all the way down to an 8.

The wound strings are built from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core, while the plain strings use specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel. The individual gauges are .0085, .011, .015, .022w, .030, and .040 — a set that keeps tension light and even across all six strings.
