Ernie Ball Slinky 12-String Electric Set 8-40
The Ernie Ball Slinky 12-String Electric Set 8-40 is made for players who want the bright chime, shimmer and sparkle of a 12-string electric guitar with a comfortable light feel.
With nickel wound construction and an easy-playing 8-40 gauge, this set helps bring out the classic jangle and harmonic richness that 12-string electrics are known for, while keeping tension manageable for regular playing.
Classic 12-String Electric Chime
A 12-string electric guitar has a sound all its own, with doubled strings adding width, shimmer and natural chorus-like movement.
These Ernie Ball Slinky strings are a great choice for bringing that sound back to life, whether you are playing clean arpeggios, jangly chords, studio parts or vintage-inspired rhythm sounds.
Light 8-40 Feel
The 8-40 gauge gives this set a lighter, more comfortable feel across the guitar.
Because 12-string guitars naturally carry more tension than standard 6-string electrics, a lighter gauge can make fretting, chord changes and longer sessions easier on the hands.
Nickel Wound Slinky Tone
Ernie Ball Slinky electric guitar strings are known for their balanced tone, smooth feel and dependable performance.
The wound strings use nickel-plated steel wrapped around a steel core, giving you a clear and versatile electric guitar tone that works well across pop, rock, indie, country, worship and classic jangle styles.
