A 10-46 set tailored for rock, from riff to solo
The Ernie Ball 2251 Classic Rock'n Roll Regular Slinky strings are aimed at electric guitarists who want to recapture the character of "old-school" rock tones: present mids, singing highs, and rounded lows, without losing the iconic playability of Slinky strings. With a 10-46 gauge, this set offers an excellent balance between comfort, tuning stability, and responsiveness, ideal for chaining energetic rhythms, expressive bends, and solos with precise attack.
Made from bass strings of pure nickel-plated steel wound around a specially tempered hexagonal steel core and tin-plated, these strings are designed to deliver a warm and rich tone, particularly suited for vintage sounds. The hermetic pouch packaging protects the set until you mount it on your guitar, preserving consistent feel and brightness from the very first note.

My reference. Pulling a bit higher than the Slinky ones but you don't feel that way when using them, they are quite pleasant to the touch and glide well. A deeper sound but the harmonics also seem finer to me.
