Product Description
The Not Even Slinky electric strings feature thicker gauges to create a bigger sound, optimal for players looking to detune their instruments. By getting the heaviest possible tone with the Not Even Slinky, guitar players WILL be noticed when plugged through their favorite amp. Tone, playability, reliability and quality are what you look for in a good instrument. Why not demand these features from your strings? Ernie Ball strings are made from the finest materials so you get quality and consistency in every set. The specially tempered high carbon steel core wire's hexagonal shape ensures the wrap wire is securely held in place through the length of the string. Precision crafted Swiss brass ball ends are attached with a triple lock twist.   Ernie Ball is the pioneer of Rock and Roll guitar strings. Since setting the industry standard for electric guitar strings, the list of Slinky users has grown to include the likes of Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai and Slash. If you like tone, you'll like Slinkys! Gauges: .012; .016; .024P; .032; .044; .056

5 out of 5 stars Erine Ball is the best   February 11, 2010

i only use ernie ball and will not use anything else. I put the "not even slinky" on my SG and tune drop C; they rock. i seldom have to retune even in the low setting. as odd as it sounds i put "power slinkys" on my acoustic; try it and you'll never go with acoustic strings again. as for my strat i put "hybrid slinkys"
you can always trust Ernie Ball!!!

I've had these for a couple of months and used them for everything from regular E/drop D, and down to drop A (where it is now) to play with a friend's 7-string. While about as hard to play in E as you would imagine given the thickness, tone was strong and smooth. But in A right now it intonates perfectly, has great tension, and hasn't lost tune at all. Hardtail RG with one EMG in the bridge for reference. From ballsy blues down to metal, these will do what you want.

I've heard of complaints about the plain 3rd string causing strange vibrations/noise due to being "too thick" to resonate properly. I haven't experienced it, but it is one thing to keep in mind. Apparently using a 24 wound string resolves it, in case it is needed.

I play Progressive and Thrash metal, and these strings hold out nicely. Tuned them down to A sharp (b flat?) and they sounded sweet. Back up to E (standard) and they provide nice full sounding tone.

I basically ordered these strings to replenish my boyfriends guitar string stock. He prefers these strings since he tunes his guitar in drop B for playing metal/hardcore styles of music.
