Ernie Ball Extra Slinky 8-38 strings are built for players who want a lighter touch, easier bends, and a fast feel across the fretboard.

This ultra-light electric guitar set uses nickel-plated steel wound strings wrapped around a tin-plated hex steel core, with specially tempered tin-plated high-carbon steel plain strings for balanced tone and dependable feel. The 8-38 gauge set is a strong choice for lead players, lighter-touch players, beginners building finger strength, or anyone who wants less tension than a standard 9s or 10s set.
