Constructed of nickel-plated steel, these strings deliver a warm yet articulate voice that adapts readily to any genre or style. Their signature Super Slinky gauges, ranging from .009 to .042, produce balanced tension for effortless bending and solid low notes.

Tight, Balanced Tension Maximizes Playability

With Super Slinky gauges from .009 to .042, these strings provide balanced tension for optimum playability. The lighter top end allows for silky-smooth string bending, vibrato and fretting, while the heavier bottom end provides enough tension for defined, resonant low notes. This combination gives players the best of both worlds—a slinky feel up top and taut lows down below.

Nickel-Plated Steel Produces a Warm, Articulate Voice

The nickel-plated steel composition of the Super Slinky 2223 strings delivers a tone that is both warm and articulate. The nickel plating adds richness and depth, while the steel core provides clarity and cut. This blend helps each note ring out with beautiful, harmonically complex overtones. Whether you're tearing up a searing lead or comping jazzy chords, these strings keep your tone musical and responsive.
