The 2624 8-String Skinny Top Heavy Bottom string set offers a balanced and full sound that brings out the best in your eight-string electric guitar. The Slinky range is made using smooth nickel-plated steel wire which is wrapped around a steel hex core combined with tin-plated, high carbon steel top strings for the perfectly balanced electric guitar tone.

In 1962, Ernie Ball invented the “Slinky”, a very flexible and therefore much more comfortable string, which also sounded better and was more durable.Strings are staged in bundles which are loaded into chambers which prepare the string surface and apply the treatment. The strings' precise intonation means that chords, riffs, and solos will always sound bright and clear anywhere on the fingerboard. If you’re after a rich tone but want strings that you can easily bend then these are the strings for you!
