Ernie Ball 09-42 Super Slinky Electric Guitar String Set

The Ernie Ball 09-42 Super Slinky Electric Guitar String Set is a nickel wound string set built from nickel plated steel wire wrapped around a tin plated hex shaped steel core, delivering the well balanced tone Ernie Ball's Slinky range is known for. As one of the most popular gauge sets available, it suits guitarists across genres who want a versatile, dependable string for everyday use.

Balanced tone from quality materials
The plain strings are made from specially tempered tin plated high carbon steel, giving them a bright yet balanced tone that complements the warmth of the nickel wound strings. This combination produces a consistent, well rounded sound suited to a wide range of playing styles.

A light gauge for comfortable playing
At .009 to .042, the Super Slinky set is on the lighter end of the gauge spectrum, making string bending and fretting easier than with heavier gauges. This makes it a popular choice for lead guitar playing and fast, expressive styles, as well as for players who prefer lower string tension for everyday comfort.
