Ernie Ball 2221 Regular Slinky Electric Strings (.010-.046)

Some things are classics for a reason—and Regular Slinkys are exactly that. The Ernie Ball 2221 set has been a mainstay on pedalboards and headstocks for decades, gracing the instruments of legends from Clapton to Slash and just about every pub-rock shredder and indie jangler in between. This .010 to .046 gauge set hits that sweet spot for balance, giving you enough meat on the low end to dig in, while keeping the high strings slinky, bendy, and totally expressive.

Crafted from nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core, these strings deliver a bright, vibrant tone with a silky-smooth feel. You’ll get sparkling highs, a tight low end, and mids that sit right where they should—perfect for everything from glassy cleans to saturated gain tones. They're as versatile as they come.

Whether you’re gigging hard, rehearsing non-stop, or just jamming at home, Slinkys hold their tone and intonation like champs. And with precision manufacturing at the California Ernie Ball HQ, you're getting consistency from pack to pack—no surprises, no duds.

We’ve sold more of these at Musicmaker than we could ever count, and for good reason: they just work. When you need reliability, feel, tone, and affordability in one tidy yellow pack, you reach for the 2221s. It's that simple.
