Ernie Ball 8-String Skinny Top Heavy Bottom

Flexible high strings and a solid .080 for your 8-string

With the Ernie Ball 8-String Skinny Top Heavy Bottom, you combine light high strings with a solid low end. The .009 at the top keeps bends and melodic lines smooth, while the thick .080 lowest string offers more resistance under your pick. A great combination when you switch between pronounced riffs, wide chords, and lead work on the same guitar. The bright, balanced character of these Slinky electric guitar strings allows both your attack and the different registers of your instrument to stand out well.

This Ernie Ball Skinny Top Heavy Bottom 9-80 string set contains eight strings with the gauges .009, .011, .016, .024, .034, .046, .064 and .080 inches. The wound strings are made of nickel-plated steel wire around a tinned, hexagonal steel core. The unwound strings are made of specially hardened, tinned carbon steel. The set is intended for electric 8-string guitars and suits players who want to combine smooth solo playing with more solidity in the low register. The final string tension depends on your scale length and tuning. Model number: 2624.
