Ernie Ball 2246 Stainless Steel Regular Slinky Strings 10 - 46

Looking for strings that slice through the mix like a hot knife through butter? The Ernie Ball 2246 Stainless Steel Regular Slinky Strings (10–46) are the bright, bold, and beautifully durable option for guitarists who want their tone to shine with bite and clarity.

Wound with stainless steel over a hexagonal steel core, these Regular Slinkys bring that signature Ernie Ball snappiness with added sparkle on the top end and an extra touch of grit in the lows. Perfect for those who lean into their bends, hammer-ons, and solos with energy—these strings respond instantly, delivering a crisp attack and enhanced sustain that makes every note pop.

The stainless steel construction doesn’t just sound great—it holds its own against sweat, grime, and constant gigging. These are strings that keep their tone longer and resist corrosion better than standard nickel-wound sets. That means fewer string changes, more consistent tone, and more time playing.

With their Regular Slinky gauge—10 to 46—you get a balanced feel across all six strings: light enough for expressive lead work, tight enough for confident rhythm playing. Whether you’re ripping solos in a hard rock set or pushing your amp into bluesy overdrive, these strings bring the goods.

At Musicmaker, we’ve been helping guitarists find their perfect string match since the early 1980s. These Stainless Steel Slinkys are for players who like their tone lean, clean, and cutting.
