12-string Slinky Electric Nickel Wound .008 – .040 – The Ernie Ball Company was the first to offer rock strings with the creation of Slinkys and further revolutionized the market by offering guitarists Custom-Gauge single strings. Slinkys are the string of choice for many professional artists such as Eric Clapton Jimmy Page Slash Angus Young John Mayer John Petrucci Steve Lukather and Steve Morse.
12-string guitars use six pairs of strings, with each pair tuned either in unison or an octave apart, creating a fuller and more harmonically rich sound than a standard six-string. This paired-string design produces a natural chorusing effect, giving the instrument a wide, shimmering character.
They are commonly used for rhythm playing, strummed parts, and open chords, where their bright, layered sound adds depth and presence. 12-string guitars are popular in folk, rock, and acoustic music, and are especially valued for creating expansive textures rather than detailed lead playing.
