Product Overview
Product Description
Ernie Ball 2618 Magnum Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are built for players who demand heavier tension, full low-end response, and increased tuning stability. With a custom 12-56 gauge set and a wound G string, these strings are especially well-suited for drop tunings and aggressive rhythm work.
Nickel-plated steel wrap wire delivers a bright, balanced tone, while the hex-shaped steel core adds strength and tuning consistency. Whether you're riffing in hard rock, metal, or blues, the Magnum Slinky set provides articulate note separation and sustain with added punch and durability.
