Ernie Ball 3220 Nickel Power Slinky Electric Strings (.011-.048) 3 Pack

If you like your electric guitar strings with a little more fight and a lot more authority, the Ernie Ball 3220 Power Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings (.011–.048) 3-Pack is a beautiful place to be. You get three complete sets of one of Ernie Ball's beefier Slinky gauges, ready for players who like to dig in properly.

The Power Slinky .011–.048 gauge provides noticeably more resistance than Regular Slinkys, giving rhythm playing and big chords a firmer, more substantial feel. They're particularly tasty for rock, blues and riff-heavy playing, where that extra tension lets you attack the strings with confidence while delivering a slightly more powerful response.

The gauges are .011, .014, .018p, .028, .038 and .048, with an unwound third string. That plain .018 G keeps bends and lead playing manageable despite the heavier overall set, so Power Slinkys aren't just for hammering out massive rhythm parts.

Construction follows the classic Ernie Ball Slinky recipe: nickel-plated steel wrap wire around hex-shaped steel cores, paired with specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel plain strings. The result is the familiar balanced, punchy Slinky tone that's been heard on an absurd number of records and stages over the years.

And this is the three-pack, which is frankly the sensible way to buy strings if you're playing regularly. One set on the guitar, one in the case, and one waiting patiently for the exact moment you snap a string ten minutes before soundcheck.

At Musicmaker, Power Slinkys are an easy recommendation for players who find 10s a little too polite. More tension, more resistance and plenty of punch – three packs of pink perfection.
