Overview

A player looking for easier fretting gets Ernie Ball's Slinky acoustic phosphor bronze strings here, wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core. They have a light orange, gold color and a mellow tone.

Easy-playing extra light gauges, with clarity in a mellow voice, make this a fit for fingerstyle and rhythm. The limitation is the mismatch in gauge fields, and this is a reseller listing without a warranty.

Who it's for

Fingerstyle players, beginners and anyone who finds heavier strings hard on the hands. Strummers wanting projection should consider a heavier gauge.

The tin-plated hex core grips the wrap wire and resists corrosion from the inside. Phosphor bronze adds a warm, mellow voice, and the extra light gauge needs less pressure to fret. Volume is lower than on heavier sets.
