Ernie Ball Power Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 11-48
Series: Slinky Series
Product Type: Electric Guitar Strings
Gauge: Power 11-48
Finish: Lime Green Pack
Overview
The Ernie Ball Power Slinky 11-48 set is a long-standing favourite for players who want heavier string tension, fuller tone, and stronger attack without moving into extreme heavy gauges. Popular with rock, blues, hard rock, and drop-tuning players, Power Slinkys offer a confident feel under the fingers with extra punch for rhythm playing and bold lead tone.
Constructed with nickel-plated steel wound strings wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core, these strings deliver rich mids, crisp highs, and dependable tuning stability. The plain strings are made from specially tempered tin-plated high carbon steel for strong output and reliable feel during bends and vibrato.
The 11-48 gauge gives noticeably more resistance than 10s or 9s, making it ideal for players who dig in harder, want improved tuning stability, or prefer a thicker response for riffs and chord work. It is also a popular option for slightly lowered tunings and guitars with shorter scale lengths.
