The History:
Te company o Ernie Ball was created out o
a guitar shop in the 1960’s, when the ownersaw a need or lighter gauged strings or theguitars. Aer big name companies scoffedat his suggestion Ernie Ball created his owncompany and it took off with his idea tocreate better, more flexible guitar strings.
Eventually Ernie Ball ended his guitar shopand ocused solely on strings, and now hisstrings are one o the most common guitarstrings on the market.

Guitar string packages are largely the same.Tey are either a cardboard pouch o sixenvelopes with individual coiled strings inthem or the packages are one envelope withsix inter-connected, coiled strings;both o which whip apart when uncoiled,
and like to get tangled.
