Built for lower tunings, longer scale instruments, and players who need a heavier string set that still feels controlled and musical.

Ernie Ball Baritone Slinky strings are designed for 6-string baritone guitars and optimized for A–A or B–B tuning combinations. Made with nickel-plated steel wrap wire over a hex-shaped steel core, this set delivers the bright, balanced response Slinky players know, with the added tension and punch needed for baritone setups.

Whether you’re dialing in heavy riffs, extended-range chord work, studio textures, or a lower-tuned live rig, this 13–72 set gives your baritone the stability and feel it needs.
