Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 9-42
Series: Slinky Series
Product Type: Electric Guitar Strings
Gauge: Super 9-42
Finish: Pink Pack

Overview

The Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9-42 set is one of the most recognisable and widely used electric guitar string packs in the world, trusted by generations of players across rock, blues, pop, indie, and metal. Known for their light feel, bright tone, and effortless bendability, Super Slinkys are a favourite for players who want speed, comfort, and expressive lead performance.

Constructed with nickel-plated steel wound strings wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core, these strings deliver punchy mids, crisp highs, and reliable tuning stability. The plain strings use specially tempered tin-plated high carbon steel for consistent feel and strong output.

The 9-42 gauge is ideal for players who prefer lighter string tension, making bends, vibrato, legato phrasing, and fast technical playing easier while still maintaining enough body for rhythm work. From classic rock solos to modern lead styles, Super Slinkys remain an industry standard.
