Can’t decide between light and heavy strings for your axe? Get both with Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom electric guitar strings. When Ernie Ball unveiled his first strings in 1962, Skinny Top Heavy Bottom was one of four setups in the inaugural lineup. It’s easy to see why; these strings are ideal for drop-D tuning and chunky power chords, yet still offer brightness and bendability on the top end. For metalheads and anyone who often alternates between lead and rhythm, these hybrid strings are the best of both worlds.
These guitar strings are manufactured using the same materials, methods and quality control standards as the famed Ernie Ball Super Slinky guitar strings. The bottom four strings have nickel-plated wrapping around a hex core while the top two steel strings are tempered with tin plating. This produces a full, well-balanced tone trusted by the world’s best guitarists. Three-set multipacks are available for big savings on big-sounding strings.
