Ernie Ball Debuts New Limited Edition Slash Signature String Set
Ernie Ball's 30-plus-year relationship with the Guns N' Roses guitarist has culminated in a new set of 11-48-gauge Slinky strings.
Just weeks after he unveiled his latest signature Gibson Les Paul, the "Victoria," Slash has teamed up with Ernie Ball to create a limited-edition signature set of guitar strings.
The culmination of Ernie Ball's 30-plus-year relationship with the Guns N' Roses guitarist, the new 11-48-gauge Slinky strings feature the company's proprietary, corrosion-resisting Paradigm core string wrap, and are treated with Ernie Ball's Everlast nanotechnology, which aims to prevent tone-killing debris from collecting on the wire.
Finally, the strings are reinforced on the ball end with heavy duty RPS brass, to prevent string slippage.
The Ernie Ball Limited Edition Slash signature string set is available now – in packs of three in a metal string tin bearing Slash's logo and image – for $34.99.
