Announced at NAMM 2025 only weeks ago, Ernie Ball’s Tim Henson Signature electric strings are the result of an exciting collaboration with a truly innovative player.
Blending techniques and combining multiple genres to create something uniquely his own, these strings follow suit pairing Cobalt with Paradigm technologies offering a tone to stand out in the mix and added strength for most demanding environments. Also a result of this exciting collaboration with a truly innovative player are Ernie Ball’s new Tim Henson Classical Strings. Blending techniques and combining multiple genres to create something uniquely his own, these strings follow suit, pairing fluorocarbon treble strings with silver-plated copper basses. The result is a unique blend of materials built to Tim’s specifications, providing a more dynamic response and percussive tonality.

Tim has also chosen an Ernie Ball signature FretWrap by Gruv Gear as his string dampener/muting accessory – one that every studio, session player, and tapping aficionado should have!
As used by Tim Henson, the FretWrap effectively cuts overtones and sympathetic resonance during recording, live performance, two-hand tapping, or any creative situation where you need that extra muting hand for cleaner takes without the unwanted string noise or ringing. The adjustable strap lets you fine-tune the pressure and dampening of the strings. You can quickly slide the dampener over the headstock when not in use. No special guitar modification, installation, or tools required – Yet amazingly effective and easy to use!
