Ernie Ball 2218 John Mayer Silver Slinky - Set

Ernie Ball 2218 John Mayer Silver Slinky – signature set with perfectly balanced tension and feel

Ernie Ball 2218 John Mayer Silver Slinky is a 6-string electric guitar set developed closely together with John Mayer for those chasing that rare “just right in the hand” feel: enough tension for control and intonation, yet still with a supple response for bends, vibrato and dynamic picking. The unique gauge combination sits right between classic 10s and 11s, giving you more stability and fullness without feeling like a heavy set.

The core is steel, and the wound strings are nickel-plated steel (NPS) with a roundwound construction, delivering a clear, versatile tone with strong chord definition and a distinct attack for single-note playing. At the same time, the set is designed with specific core-to-wrap ratios, making the tension feel more even from string to string and the guitar feel more “balanced” across the fretboard.

This set is especially suited to players who usually hover between 0,25 cm (10) and 0,28 cm (11) and want a compromise that’s genuinely well thought out. Gauges are 0,27 cm / 0,34 cm / 0,44 cm (plain) and 0,69 cm / 0,94 cm / 1,19 cm (wound), so you get a slightly firmer low end and a controlled top without losing that “slinky” playing feel. Note: as non-coated strings, lifespan and corrosion resistance will typically be comparable to other standard NPS sets, depending on sweat, playing time and maintenance.
