Ernie Ball Extra Slinky electric guitar string set

The origin of the Ernie Ball Slinky line
Ernie Ball developed these strings from the perspective of working guitarists. As the electric guitar became more popular, he saw that many players benefited from a set with a lighter, unwound G string.
That idea led to the Ernie Ball Slinkys, which quickly became widely used. The name Extra Slinky directly refers to that tradition of lighter electric guitar sets.
