Ernie Ball2223 Nickel Super Slinky Guitar Strings 12-Pack
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Twelve sets of Super Slinky electric guitar strings. For players who restring often enough that buying single packs stops making sense.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Gigging players who change strings before every show
- Teachers or shops keeping spare sets on hand
- Anyone who already knows Super Slinky is their gauge
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players still experimenting with gauges — twelve sets is a big commitment
- Bass players; these are electric guitar strings only
- Occasional players who restring twice a year
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Nickel wound
Warmer and easier on frets and fingers than stainless, with a balanced midrange under most pickups.
Detail 03
12-pack
Per-set cost drops well below single packs. Only pays off if you actually go through them.
Detail 04
Electric guitar only
Steel core designed for magnetic pickups. Not for acoustic or classical instruments.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Do strings go bad sitting in the package?
Sealed packs hold up for a long time. Humidity is the enemy. Keep them somewhere dry and they will be fine for years.
02Will Super Slinky work for drop tunings?
Light gauge goes floppy when tuned down. Occasional drop D is workable; anything lower wants a heavier set.
03Are these the same as buying twelve single packs?
Same strings, lower cost per set. The difference is bulk pricing, not a different product.
04Can I use these on an acoustic guitar?
No. These are electric strings. They will sound thin and quiet on an acoustic, which needs bronze wound strings.
