Ernie Ball has introduced a limited-edition set of custom-wound Slash signature Slinky strings. Slash‘s new signature string sets are the culmination of over three decades of Slash and Ernie Ball‘s ongoing pursuit to create strings that provide more durability and tuning stability without sacrificing tone or feel. These new sets consist of his preferred 11-48-gauge Slinkys wound with Paradigm core wire and plasma-enhanced nickel-plated steel wrap wire, while the Paradigm plain strings are constructed with a heavier brass wire reinforcement at each of the ball-ends for better tuning stability and strength. These limited-edition string sets are highly collectible and conveniently packaged in a three-pack embossed tin box for easy storage.

In the video below, watch as Slash looks back on his first live performance with Ernie Ball in 1987. He’s played Ernie Ball Slinky guitar strings on stage, in the studio, and on the road ever since.
Earlier in the month, Slash confirmed that SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS are putting together ideas for a new album. The effort will be the follow-up to “Living The Dream”, which came out in September 2018 via Slash‘s own label Snakepit Records, in partnership with Roadrunner Records. The disc was Slash‘s fourth solo album, and third with Slash and his CONSPIRATORS bandmates Kennedy, Todd Kerns (bass, vocals), Brent Fitz (drums) and Frank Sidoris (guitar and vocals).
In September 2019, SLASH FEATURING MYLES KENNEDY AND THE CONSPIRATORS released “Living The Dream Tour” on DVD+2CD, Blu-ray+2 CD, 3LP black vinyl, limited-edition 3LP red vinyl, digital video and digital audio via Eagle Vision. The set was shot on location on February 20, 2019 at London, England’s Eventim Apollo.
GUNS N’ ROSES‘ next studio album will be its first since 2008’s “Chinese Democracy” and the first to feature Slash, bassist Duff McKagan and singer Axl Rose since 1993.
GUNS N’ ROSES‘ has spent most of the last four and a half years touring with classic-lineup members Slash, McKagan and Rose backed by guitarist Richard Fortus, drummer Frank Ferrer, keyboardist Dizzy Reed and second keyboardist Melissa Reese.
