Ernie Ball

Ernie Ball is an American music-accessory brand established in 1962, best known for its guitar and bass strings. Its Slinky string range includes numerous gauges and materials, with nickel-wound, Cobalt and M-Steel options among its electric-guitar offerings. The brand also makes instrument cables, straps, capos, pedals, replacement parts and instrument-care products.

Strings are central to Ernie Ball’s identity, from Regular Slinky electric-guitar sets to heavier-gauge bass sets such as Mammoth Slinky. Its artist-associated products include Tim Henson signature guitar strings, while Eric Clapton is a widely documented Ernie Ball string user. Alongside strings, practical accessories such as pegwinders, polishing wipes and patch cables support routine instrument maintenance and stage or studio setups.

On MyGear, Ernie Ball has 376 products currently in stock at partner retailers, priced from €1 to €349. This selection spans inexpensive consumables and small accessories through to higher-priced pedals and other equipment, placing the brand primarily in the everyday strings-and-accessories market rather than the instrument market.
