Now musicians everywhere can experience the tone and performance that made Ernie Ball strings the choice of rock pioneers like Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, and Angus Young.

Pure Nickel Wrap for a Vintage Rock Sound

The P02250 strings are wrapped in pure nickel wire, which gives them a warm, mellow tone that defined the rock sounds of the 1950s and ’60s. The nickel wrap enhances midrange frequencies and compression, creating a fat, crunchy distortion and natural sustain. This vintage voice pairs perfectly with tube amps and classic rock effects.

Light Top/Heavy Bottom for Power and Punch

The P02250 set uses light top and heavy bottom string gauges tailored for high-output rock and blues styles. The lighter top strings (.011-.018″) have fast, slinky response that facilitates intricate solos and complex chording.

This hybrid set delivers a versatile performance for rock, hard rock, and blues.
