An "aerospace" alloy serving your electric guitar
With the M-Steel range, Ernie Ball brings a super alloy derived from advanced technologies into the guitar world. Maraging steel (an alloy including nickel, molybdenum, and titanium) is used in the string core to provide impeccable tuning stability and an immediate response feel under the fingers. The result: more stable, more comfortable playing, and a sound power level that enhances both clean tones and distortion.
More body, more projection, more attack
The M-Steel Power 09-46 set stands out with winding announced as 60% richer than the Ernie Ball Cobalt series, delivering a denser output and increased presence in the mix. The lows gain depth without losing definition, while the highs maintain a crisp attack and precise articulation, perfect for bends, picking, and tight rhythms.
