The Ernie Ball Super Slinky is one of the most widely used electric guitar string sets in the world — and for good reason. The 9-42 gauge has settled into a sweet spot for players who want enough lightness to bend comfortably without losing tension on the low end. If you've been playing electric guitar for any length of time, you've probably already put a set of these on something.
The wound strings are built from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core. The plain strings use specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel. The individual gauges are .009, .011, .016, .024w, .032, and .042 — a well-tested spread that keeps the top strings responsive and the bottom strings grounded.
