Featuring a patented cobalt alloy wrap wire around a tin plated hex core, Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky strings have a unique output, tone, and feel compared to traditional nickel wound strings. The magnetic properties of Cobalt provide more output than nickel wound offerings. The tonal qualities of Cobalt include more defined highs and increased low end response.
Ernie Ball Cobalt Slinky Electric Guitar Strings are engineered to maximize output and clarity. These strings provide an extended dynamic range, incredible harmonic response, increased low end, and crisp, clear highs. Cobalt Slinky strings produce a stronger magnetic response with pickups than any other alloy previously available. Cobalt Slinky guitar strings are also wound for added flexibility, making string bending a breeze. Gauges .009, .011, .016, .024, .032, .042
