60 years ago, guitar teacher Ernie Ball pioneered his light-gauge electric guitar strings.
Named Slinky, these sets have been used by countless guitarists, including some of the world's best-known players such as Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Paul McCartney, Slash, John Petrucci and Angus Young.
Made in Coachella, CA, Ernie Ball strings are now carried in thousands of stores in the United States and overseas.
Today, Ernie Ball has announced they will be introducing triple guitar string packs.
The new format will be available across the firm’s popular ranges of electric guitar strings, including Slinky, Slinky Classic Rock N Roll, and Slinky Cobalt, as well as the Earthwood and Ernesto Palla acoustic guitar string brands.
Ernie Ball's new 3-packs will be launched in two stages.
