That's how you end up searching for something like "guitar strings", and multiple products show up as the #1 seller. Why Amazon still allows this after all these years, I will never know. **Q: Do all 6 strings come in the "1 pack"?** A: If you note on the front of the package, it has a list of numbers (10, 13, 17, 26, 36, 46 on the "Regular Slinky" set, and similar on others). These are the string gauges included in the pack. If there were only one string in the pack, it would list a single number, because you'd have to know which string it was. **Q: what is the difference between slinky and non slinky?** A: Slinky is just a line of strings from Ernie Ball, the "Slinkier" they are the thinner they are, regular Slinky are 10 gauge strings, super slinky are 9s, and "Not Even Slinky" strings are 12s (the number represents the gauge of the lightest string in the set). **Q: I'm looking for extra strings for my new Les Paul Special II. I'm buing guitar from amazon, it costs $149. Are this strings compatible?** A: Short answer, yes they should be fine. Long answer, the comparability between strings and guitars doesnt matter, its the string slots that in the nut that matter. The les Paul's usually use bigger strings anyway. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 細いから弾き易い！ *by on Reviewed in Japan September 25, 2026* 長年使用してきた Earin Ball の Super Slinky とどう違うのかと、細いゲージを試したくて購入。いやあ、弾き易いの何の。音が痩せることはないし、とにかく笑っちゃうほどチョーキングし易くて、心なしか上手になった気がする。嬉しいです。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 三音下げでも大丈夫 *by on Reviewed in Japan October 1, 2026* 三音下げのCスタンダードで使用してるけど弦高高めに設定すればテンション申し分なく確保できてる。ダウンチューニングでよくあるもっさり感が少なくブライトな鳴りがお気に入りです！ ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ お気に入り *by on Reviewed in Japan June 26, 2026* 細いプレーン弦（09）に対して、低音側はやや太め（46）になっているため、チョーキングや速いフレーズは軽快に行えつつ、コードやリフではしっかりとした低音が得られます。ゲージは.009〜.046の構成で、幅広いジャンルに対応できる万能なセットです。実際の弾き心地も非常にバランスが良く、初心者から上級者まで扱いやすい印象でした。クリーンから歪みまで素直なサウンドで、ジャンルを問わず使いやすい点も魅力です。一方で、コーティング弦ではないため、使用環境によっては錆びやすく、寿命はやや短めに感じる場合があります。総合的には、「弾きやすさ」「バランスの良さ」「コスパ」を重視する方に非常におすすめできる定番の弦です。 ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 3-pack, 9-46 Gauge (P03222) - D'Addario Accessories Pro-Winder Guitar String Winder, Cutter, Bridge Pin Puller - All in One Guitar Tool - Black - Ernie Ball Earthwood Light Phosphor Bronze Acoustic Guitar Strings, 11-52 Gauge (P02148) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/742746990-ernie-ball-3222-electric-guitar-strings-09-46-hybrid-slinky](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/742746990-ernie-ball-3222-electric-guitar-strings-09-46-hybrid-slinky) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-29*
