Ernie Ball Papa Het’s Hardwired Master Core Signature Strings 11-50

Product Description

The Ernie Ball Papa Het’s Hardwired Master Core Signature Electric Strings 11-50 were co-developed with Metallica’s James Hetfield to deliver the precise tension, feel, and tuning stability required for aggressive rhythm playing. Built with a heavier core-to-wrap ratio, these strings produce a thicker, punchier tone with enhanced pitch stability under heavy picking attack.

This custom 11-50 gauge set features thicker Paradigm core wire construction with nickel-plated steel wrap wire for a balanced combination of durability, output, and articulation. The plain strings also utilise Paradigm core wire with brass RPS reinforcement at the ball end for increased strength and improved tuning reliability during demanding performances.

Ideal for hard rock and metal players seeking tight low-end response, powerful mids, and dependable tuning stability.
