Ernie Ball EB2201 Papa Hets Signature 11-50

Ernie Ball EB2201 Papa Het's Signature 11-50 - James Hetfield custom string set

The Ernie Ball EB2201 Papa Het's Signature 11-50 strings were developed in close collaboration with Metallica frontman James Hetfield and are engineered for maximum power, precision and durability. They are ideal for players seeking a powerful, defined tone with uncompromising stability.

Made from nickel-plated steel and finished with the durable Paradigm coating, these strings deliver an assertive sound with clear highs, tight lows, and impressive longevity. Even under the most demanding playing conditions, tone and performance remain consistently at the highest level.

The RPS copper wrap on the ball end further increases load capacity and reduces the risk of string breakage, making them perfect for aggressive picking and intensive rhythm work in the style of “Papa Het.”

This specially tuned 11-50 set, with gauges 11 – 14 – 18p – 28 – 38 – 50, offers the ideal balance of tension, control and punch. Perfect for punchy riffs, precise palm-muting, and powerful lead lines.
