Made of a revolutionary cobalt alloy, these strings provide guitarists with unprecedented power, clarity and sustain. The cobalt blend is highly magnetically active, delivering up to 40% more output than traditional nickel-plated steel strings. The result is beefy yet defined lows, rich mids, crisp highs and harmonic overtones that soar.

Unparalleled Clarity and Punch

Cobalt Super Slinky strings are precision engineered to maximize clarity, dynamics and punch. The cobalt alloy provides a stronger magnetic relationship with pickups, enabling an extended dynamic range, incredible harmonic response and serious low-end. These strings make each note ring out with bell-like clarity from the first fret to the last.

Buttery Playability

While Cobalt Super Slinky strings are built for power, they are also incredibly pliable under the fingers. The cobalt blend results in a silky, flexible string that allows for faster playing and effortless bends. Guitarists will notice a smooth, fluid feel whether performing intricate solos, chunky rhythm parts or anything in between.

Longer-Lasting and Corrosion Resistant

Cobalt Super Slinky strings are not only highly responsive, but also long-lasting. The cobalt alloy is more resistant to moisture, sweat and corrosion than traditional nickel-plated steel. As a result, these strings maintain tone and playability for a remarkably long time. For guitarists seeking the ultimate in sound, feel and durability, Cobalt Super Slinky strings are a premium choice.
