Ernie Ball Announce Release of John Mayer Signature Silver Slinkys
Silver Slinky Strings are the result of an extraordinary partnership between Ernie Ball and John Mayer. They feature a never before offered gauge combination along with Reinforced Plain Strings (RPS) for added tuning stability and durability. Each string has been meticulously engineered with specific gauges and core-to-wrap ratios to meet John’s exacting standards, delivering the perfect balance of tone and tension.
Created in collaboration with John Mayer to meet his exacting specifications.
Silver Slinky strings provide John with the perfect balance of tone, tension, and feel.
This never before offered combination consists of 10.5, 13.5, 17.5, 27, 37, and 47 gauges.
In John’s own words: “All my career I’ve been experimenting with custom sets of guitar strings, and for the past few years I’ve been working closely with Ernie Ball to develop what I consider to be the ultimate set for my playing style.
I’m delighted to introduce my new Silver Slinky signature electric guitar strings. The gauges are perfectly situated between .010 and .011 sets, and feature special core-to-wrap ratios. The tension is exactly where I’ve always wanted it – big enough to get great tone, but nimble enough to finesse those vocal bends we as guitar players are always going for. I’ve been using them for the past couple of years, and now it’s time to put them in your hands.”
