Review: Excellent for D standard - Great for D standard tuning. Review: Great for a begginers, Slinky easy to bend, plus brighten up a cheap muddy sounding guitar too! - Writing a review as I have 13 guitars here in my camper and 6 or so back home. So I am a bit impressed. My situation- I got these thinking the extra magnet and extra slinky attributes would help out my Harley (Fender Sonic Mustang wanna be) as it is a 24 scale and my wife already has the later one and this was cheaper - for basically if and when I take lessons because of the shorter scale length b/c the teacher can put me thru some runs, hammer ons with my pinky etc... You know Harley Benton has a tendency to sound muddy, so thought the extra magnetic drive wouldnt hurt. So... The strings as I was installing them stuck to the pickups b/c the magnetic pull was that strong, and are very slinky AND a bit beefyer fatter to the touch and I liked that too! Sound very good! Most likely from the magnetic quality. ## Features - P02720 - POWER SLINKY COBALT ELECTRIC GUITAR STRINGS - 11-48 GAUGE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0078YF9V6 | | Body Material Type | Cobalt (Strings) | | Brand | Ernie Ball | | Brand Name | Ernie Ball | | Coating Description | Uncoated | | Coating description | Uncoated | | Color | nickel | | Colour | nickel | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 6,120 Reviews | | Finish Type | Uncoated | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00749699127208 | | Instrument | Electric Guitar | | Item Type Name | string | | Item Weight | 36 g | | Manufacturer | ernie ball | | Manufacturer Part Number | 2720-U | | Material Type | Cobalt | | Model Name | Power Slinky | | Model Number | P02720 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Recommended Uses For Product | For playing electric guitars | | Set Name | Medium (11-48) | | Sound Profile | Balanced | | String Gauge | Light | | String Material Type | Cobalt | | String gauge | Light | | String material type | Cobalt | | UPC | 749699127208 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Ernie Ball - **Colour:** nickel - **Instrument:** Electric Guitar - **String gauge:** Light - **String material type:** Cobalt ## Images ![POWER SLINKY COBALT ELECTRIC GUITAR STRINGS ,Nickel ,Single Pack ,11-48 GAUGE ,P02720 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81BhNEI2+OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for D standard *by M***O on 2 November 2023* Great for D standard tuning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for a begginers, Slinky easy to bend, plus brighten up a cheap muddy sounding guitar too! *by E***E on 17 November 2025* Writing a review as I have 13 guitars here in my camper and 6 or so back home.

Found them tiny bit tougher than D'Dario Strings(difficult to bend), but that could be a personal observation and might vary. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ernie Ball Power Slinky Cobalt Electric Guitar Strings, 11-48 Gauge (P02720) - Ernie Ball 7-String Power Slinky Cobalt Electric Guitar Strings, 11-58 Gauge (P02729) --- ## 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.co.za/products/339520341-power-slinky-cobalt-electric-guitar-strings-nickel-single-pack-11](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/339520341-power-slinky-cobalt-electric-guitar-strings-nickel-single-pack-11) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-10-19*
