Customize Your Playing, String by String

With the Ernie Ball Slinky Nickel Wound 56, you no longer settle for a standard set: you adapt your instrument to your hand and tuning. Buying a single string is especially useful if you play in alternate tunings, seek more tension in the low end, or simply want to keep your favorite gauge by replacing only the worn string. It's also an excellent solution to balance tension across the strings and achieve a consistent feel along the entire neck.

A Warm Sound and Musical Response

Made from nickel-plated steel, this string offers a warm sonic character, with a smooth attack and rich midrange, highly appreciated for "vintage" tones. The nickel plating provides a comfortable balance between brightness and roundness while maintaining good definition, especially on low riffs and strong rhythms. The result: an expressive string that responds well to playing nuances, from pick attack to more subtle fingerpicking.
