Ernie Ball 2201 Papa Het’s Signature Strings
Papa Het’s Hardwired Master Core signature strings have been developed in collaboration with Metallica’s James Hetfield over the past decade to best meet his performance demands.
This signature set features James’ preferred 11–50 gauge combination paired with a heavier Paradigm core. They are ideal for his legendary aggressive playing style and technique, delivering a heavier tone with enhanced tuning stability.
The plain strings are made from a pure Paradigm core with RPS (Reinforced Plain String) brass reinforcement at the ball end for increased durability and improved tuning stability.
