Engineered for the modern guitarist who demands more from their instrument, Ernie Ball Cobalt Super Slinky Strings represent the first significant innovation in guitar string alloy technology in decades. By using a patented Cobalt alloy wrap wire, these strings provide a stronger magnetic relationship with your pickups than traditional nickel strings. The result is a set of strings that sounds louder, clearer, and more dynamic. Key Features The Cobalt Advantage: Higher Output Why Cobalt? The answer lies in magnetism. Cobalt is a highly magnetic material, meaning these strings interact more vigorously with your guitar’s pickups. This produces a significantly higher output than standard nickel-wound offerings, giving your sound more punch and presence without changing your volume knob. Extended Dynamic Range & Clarity Cobalt Slinkys don’t just sound louder; they sound better. They are engineered to provide an extended dynamic range with an incredible harmonic response. Lows: Increased low-end response for a growling, robust bottom. Highs: Crisp, clear highs that cut through the mix with definition. Legendary Slinky Feel Despite the advanced alloy, these strings retain the legendary playability Ernie Ball is famous for. They are wound for added flexibility, making the strings feel soft under the fingers and making string bending a breeze. They feature a tin-plated hex core for durability and stability. Related
