Ernie Ball 2627 Nickel Beefy Slinky Drop Tuning Electric Guitar Strings

The Ernie Ball 2627 Nickel Beefy Slinky Drop Tuning Electric Guitar Strings are designed for guitarists wanting to achieve lower tunings while maintaining string tension and tone. Ernie Ball, a pioneer of rock guitar strings, created these Beefy Slinkys to give metal and hard rock players the optimal gauge combination for drop D and drop C tuning. Made of nickel-plated steel wrapped around a hex-shaped steel core, these wound strings produce a thick yet balanced tone when tuned down. The plain strings are made of specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel for Ernie Ball's signature feel and sound. With Beefy Slinky gauges of .011, .015, .022, .030, .042 and .054, these strings are engineered to handle the lower tunings that shape heavy genres while keeping intonation accurate and preventing fret buzz.
