From the inventor of guitar strings

Strings made by Ernie Ball - the proverbial icing on the cake for a powerful sound with plenty of sustain. Since the early 1960s, the US company has been making strings for almost every stringed instrument. This vast wealth of experience is clearly demonstrated in every product, and it is not by chance that Ernie Ball remains one of the market's leading manufacturers to this day. The product range has expanded immensely over the course of several decades and now includes many accessories such as effect pedals, cables, straps, and high-quality picks alongside the company's extensive selection of strings. However, Ernie Ball's core business is and remains the production of all manner of strings, which set standards in terms of sound, tuning stability, and durability - and the company is still based in Indio, California.

Ernie Ball 2620 String Set For 7-String Electric Guitar

Comfortable to play

The Ernie Ball 2620 string set is designed specifically for guitarists with seven-string instruments who value excellent low-end definition and a high level of playing comfort. The wound strings feature a hexagonal steel core beneath nickel-plated steel windings. In contrast, the plain strings are made from a specially hardened and tin-plated high-tensile carbon steel. With gauges of .011, .014, .018p, .028, .038, .048, and .058, the 2620 7-String Power Slinky set offers not only a comfortable playing feel but also a powerful and rich tone, which of course makes them particularly suitable for Metal.

Single String from the Ernie Ball 2620 String Set For 7-String Electric Guitar

Perfect for seven-string guitars

Thanks to its long playing life, loud and well-balanced sound, precise intonation, and high tuning stability from the moment the strings are put on, the Ernie Ball 2620 7-String Power Slinky set is recommended as a reliable companion for seven-string players who want a rich sound with excellent playability and place great value on clean definition, especially in the low end. The combined power of over 50 years of experience in string development at Ernie Ball also makes the Ernie Ball 2620 7-String Power Slinky set the first choice for seven-string electric guitars - and at a very fair price.

About Ernie Ball

The Ernie Ball company was named after its founder and has its headquarters in San Luis Opisbo, California. Being a guitarist himself, Ernie Ball knew their needs very well. A major problem for him in the 1950s and 1960s was the lack of high-quality guitar and bass strings. In 1962, Ernie Ball invented the “Slinky”, a very flexible and therefore much more comfortable string, which also sounded better and was more durable. He specifically brought individual string gauges onto the market for a young clientele and touring musicians. The company’s success was unstoppable, and today Ernie Ball is the world's largest manufacturer of guitar and bass strings. Over the years, the range has expanded and now includes accessories such as cables, picks, straps, etc. Ernie Ball is also known in connection with the instrument manufacturer Music Man, which the company bought in 1984, but which continues to operate as an independent brand.

Perfect for Metal

The 2620 7-String Power Slinky string set offers a balanced and full sound that brings out the best in your seven-string electric guitar. The strings' precise intonation means that chords, riffs, and solos will always sound bright and clear anywhere on the fingerboard. In addition, these strings deliver excellent tuning stability as well as a direct tonal response, something that is crucial especially for the low strings, such as when playing precise riffs. Whether you are playing powerful high-gain riffs, crystal-clear clean parts, or expressive solos, the Ernie Ball 2620 7-String Power Slinky strings offer the perfect balance between playing feel, durability, and a full sound.

Losing my religion

Synic42 08.08.2019

I've been a lifelong D'Addario user, but these strings have converted me. I'm now glad to be in the Ernie Ball camp, these strings just feel amazing and sound so much better. These power slinkies are just perfect for my recently acquired 7 string guitar.

Great sound / longevity AND works with Schaller M6 locking tuners!

Christian748 26.05.2014

I have spent a considerable amount of time looking for the beefiest set of baritone strings that will be accommodated by my Schaller M6 Locking Tuners on my Ibanez baritone. As the majority of manufacturers tend to avoid the .058 gauge, the Ernie Ball 7-String Power Slinky does the job nicely because the .058 is the thickest gauge of string accepted by the Schaller M6s - which have an eyelet size of 1.5mm (.059")

The strings themselves are great to play and have a really nice twang to them that I was missing from the previous set of cobalts that I had placed on my guitar.

Loss of one star because it's not packed with an alternative wound G, which I feel could be offered at this price point and to match competitors like Dean Markley.

They are Strings

J. Q. 16.01.2023

If you like Ernie Ball strings, you are already here buying them. Eveeybody likes different strings, I like these, have used various gauges of them for years on all sorts of instruments and never had any problems. Adding to this - though I use these on a 7 string, I have put these on 6's too in various setups, so if you're looking to mix and match gauges for particular tunings it might be worth grabbing a set of these (or 8's) for some variety.

Solid Strings for Baritone

Anonymous 20.07.2016

Opted for these for my new 7 string baritone. I must say i'm genuinely surprised with the quality, especially on baritone scale. The added neck length makes sure that these strings are even brighter than usual. I'm truly a bass player and playing on drop A tuning, and these strings have enough low end on the lower strings with the good amount of tension and twang, which is why i would always choose Ernie Balls. Reccomended
