Ernie Ball 2208 Electric Guitar Strings
Product no: V-NickelWound2208 Bax Music Warranty: This product comes with a manufacturing defects warranty.

General

This pack of Ernie Ball Light strings comes with a wound G-string, fully optimising them for jazz guitarists. But, unlike the Slinky Series wound-G strings, this light-gauged set is made for much more than just jazz.

The wound strings have a hexagonal steel core wound with nickel-plated steel, while the unwound strings are made of specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel. Combined, this construction offers balanced warmth and bright sound, supporting a mass of techniques and genres.

Every Ernie Ball string is manufactured according to the highest standards and the most exacting specifications to guarantee consistently optimal performance and a longer lifespan.

Wrote the following about Ernie Ball 2208 Electric Guitar Strings

Vanaf dat ik mijn Epiphone Sheraton II bespeel zitten deze snaren er constant op en ik zou geen andere willen. De omwonden G-snaar klinkt geweldig en zorgt voor een fantastisch geluid (voor zowel blues/jazz als pop/rock). Super ! Erg aan te raden om eens te proberen op je semi-hollow body.
