Description
The Ernie Ball P02250 Classic Pure Nickel Power Slinky electric guitar strings are a pillar of iconic rock tone. Ernie Ball pioneered the lighter string gauges that fueled the high-energy rock styles of the 1960s and beyond. These nickel-plated steel strings produce the warm, rich tone that shaped the sound of rock legends. The P02250 set offers light top/heavy bottom gauges perfect for rock and blues — .011, .014, .018, .028, .038, .048. Now musicians everywhere can experience the tone and performance that made Ernie Ball strings the choice of rock pioneers like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Angus Young.
Pure Nickel Wrap for a Vintage Rock Sound
The P02250 strings are wrapped in pure nickel wire, which gives them a warm, mellow tone that defined the rock sounds of the 1950s and '60s. The nickel wrap enhances midrange frequencies and compression, creating a fat, crunchy distortion and natural sustain. This vintage voice pairs perfectly with tube amps and classic rock effects.
Light Top/Heavy Bottom for Power and Punch
The P02250 set uses light top and heavy bottom string gauges tailored for high-output rock and blues styles. The lighter top strings (.011-.018") have fast, slinky response that facilitates intricate solos and complex chording. The heavier bottom strings (.028-.048") provide tight, punchy bass tones and stable tuning when dropping to lower pitches. This hybrid set delivers a versatile performance for rock, hard rock, and blues.
