A set of strings designed to recapture a vintage character
The Ernie Ball Slinky Classic 20 are aimed at guitarists seeking a more organic sound signature. The combination of a tin-plated steel core and a pure nickel winding emphasizes full mids, smooth highs, and a naturally round low end. The result: a tone particularly suited to "old school" sounds, soft jazz chords, expressive blues phrases, and rock riffs with a warm grain.
