D’Addario EPN110 Regular Light Pure Nickel

Vintage Tones from the '50s and '60s

If you're looking for a set of strings that captures the trailblazing tones of the 1950s and 1960s, then look no further than D'Addario XL Pure Nickel electric guitar strings from Sweetwater. XL Pure Nickels feature a wrap wire of pure nickel roundwound over a hex core. This construction yields a tone that recalls the blues, rock, surf, and country music of the mid-20th century — an era when pure nickel-wound strings were by far the norm — while maintaining the durability and intonation modern D'Addario strings are known for. Compared to nickel-wound steel guitar strings, D'Addario XL Pure Nickel strings have a decidedly smoother — plus a purer and warmer — response. They're perfect for cooling down hot-wound humbuckers and taking some poke out of a vintage single-coil. But that's not to say these strings can't cut. We've channeled these strings for everything from icy-cool cleans to smooth, Pink Floyd-esque saturated leads. And, quite unlike true vintage strings, D'Addario XL Pure Nickel guitar strings feature a digitally controlled winding process that yields perfect consistency from set to set.
D'Addario XL Pure Nickel Electric Guitar Strings (Regular Light) Features:
  • Gauges: .010, .013, .017, .025, .035, .045
  • The preferred strings of Eric Johnson
  • Pure nickel wrap wire conjures blues, rock, surf, and country tones of the '50s and '60s
  • Yields a warmer, smoother response compared to nickel-plated steel

Ernie Ball 2621 7-String Regular Slinky

Ernie Ball Strings!

The list of musicians who use Ernie Ball strings to make music reads like the who's who in contemporary music history. The story of the Slinky itself deserves its own place in rock and roll history. In the early 60s rock and roll guitar was exploding. More and more people came in to buy a set of guitar strings from Ernie Ball's music store, throwing away the sixth string, and then buying a banjo first string. This caused every string in the set to be much thinner. Ernie thought there should be a rock & roll string set packaged with these lighter gauges. "... I called (Fender) to explain my idea; and again, he reported back that Leo Fender wouldn't discuss it. Then I contacted the people at the Gibson guitar company and tried to talk them into making Rock & Roll strings, but they thought it was a lousy idea. OK; if you guys won't do it, then I really will! And that's how I came up with the first set of Slinky strings." All Ernie Ball strings share the classic simplicity, solid reliability, elegant function, and fair price that are synonymous with the name Ernie Ball. These are Ernie's "Regular Slinky" strings. Made from nickel plated steel wire wrapped around tin plated hex shaped steel core wire. By far the most popular, produces well balanced all around good sound. Features:
  • Type: Electric, 7-String
  • Gauge: .010 .013 .017 .026 .036 .046 .056

Ernie Ball 2721 Regular Slinky Cobalt

Next-gen Guitar Strings

Ernie Ball Cobalt guitar strings are made of a new alloy formulation that gives you higher output, better sound, and longer life. Cobalt strings' special iron/cobalt blend attracts the magnets in your pickups better than any other alloy. When you string up with Ernie Ball Cobalts, you'll immediately notice the incredible comfort these strings offer - silky and pliable under your fretting fingers; your pick will seem to glide over the strings, letting you execute fast passages effortlessly. And when you plug in, you'll get increased power, beefy yet defined lows, improved midrange focus, harmonics, and sustain, and crisp highs. Try a set of Ernie Ball Cobalt strings - you're gonna love 'em! Ernie Ball Cobalt Guitar Strings at a Glance:
  • Beta tested by the creme de la creme
  • Cobalt formula gives you higher output and better sound
  • Cobalts last longer
Beta tested by the creme de la creme In the development of their Cobalt strings, Ernie Ball tapped select members of their star-studded artist roster - including Steve Morse, John Petrucci, Randy Jackson, Tony Levin, and Slash - to be beta testers for the new formulation. John Petrucci reported that the Cobalts sound "amazing," with "increased power, incredible clarity, and incredible sonic balance." He noted that the Cobalts seem "softer" under your fretting fingers (the term he used was "buttery"). Slash noted that - before being plugged in - the Cobalts "have an entirely different feel than normal strings." He goes on to characterize this sensation as "bouncy and pliable," and "a lot of fun for bending." When amplified, Slash commented that the Cobalts were just as bright as titanium strings, but more "guttural," with more "growl to them." Cobalt formula gives you higher output and better sound A half century ago, Ernie Ball practically invented "rock" guitar strings. And now, with Cobalt, they've re-invented them. After exhaustive testing of over 350 alloy combinations, the company ended up with an optimal formula that - as compared with conventional strings - gives you higher output, beefier lows with increased definition, improved midrange focus, shimmering harmonics and more robust sustain. You get a brighter sound without inducing harshness by turning up the treble on your amp. Cobalts last longer Ernie Ball Cobalt guitar strings last longer, retaining their brightness long after other strings have given up the ghost. Steve Morse reported having a set on one of his guitars "for several weeks," and with daily use - "sweaty hands" and all - the Cobalts "still sound bright... They just don't have that dead sound," he says. So, with higher output, better sound, and the monetary benefits of not having to change strings so often, Cobalts have it all over traditional alloy formulations. Check out a set of Ernie Ball Cobalt strings - you'll love 'em!

D’Addario XSE1046 Nickel Plated Steel Coated

Thinly Coated for Durable Tone

D'Addario XS Nickel-plated strings bring the company's cutting-edge XS-coated formula to the electric guitar for the first time. These strings yield iconic D'Addario tone, but with a longer lifespan that ages gracefully. The ultra-thin XS coating not only preserves tone and longevity, but it also addresses common guitar player gripes about coated strings with their reduced string noise, lightning-fast playability, and superior resistance to fraying. guitar players agree: if you're looking for coated guitar strings that sound great and give you longer hours of playtime, D'Addario XS Nickel-plated Steels are a clear winner. NY steel core with Fusion Twist steels Inside each XS nickel string is a NY Steel core — the same as you'll find on a set of your favorite NYXLs or XTs electric guitar strings. This angular core gives the wrap wire more surface to grab on to, resulting in better tone and intonation. Plus, XS strings also feature D'Addario's Fusion Twist technology, a process that prevents slack in each string’s winding, ensuring it stays more in tune and lasts longer. Engineered for graceful aging D'Addario XS sets aren't your ordinary coated guitar strings. Both the wound strings and plain steels feature groundbreaking thin film coatings. This eliminates that awkward stage common to other coated strings where your bottom strings far outlast your top strings.
  • Light gauge set for balanced tone and playability
  • Ultra-thin film coating extends string life between changes

D’Addario XSE0942 Nickel Plated Steel Coated

Thinly Coated for Durable Tone

D'Addario XS Nickel-plated strings bring the company's cutting-edge XS-coated formula to the electric guitar for the first time. These strings yield iconic D'Addario tone, but with a longer lifespan that ages gracefully. The ultra-thin XS coating not only preserves tone and longevity, but it also addresses common guitar player gripes about coated strings with their reduced string noise, lightning-fast playability, and superior resistance to fraying. guitar players agree: if you're looking for coated guitar strings that sound great and give you longer hours of playtime, D'Addario XS Nickel-plated Steels are a clear winner. NY steel core with Fusion Twist steels Inside each XS nickel string is a NY Steel core — the same as you'll find on a set of your favorite NYXLs or XTs electric guitar strings. This angular core gives the wrap wire more surface to grab on to, resulting in better tone and intonation. Plus, XS strings also feature D'Addario's Fusion Twist technology, a process that prevents slack in each string’s winding, ensuring it stays more in tune and lasts longer. Engineered for graceful aging D'Addario XS sets aren't your ordinary coated guitar strings. Both the wound strings and plain steels feature groundbreaking thin film coatings. This eliminates that awkward stage common to other coated strings where your bottom strings far outlast your top strings.
