The 2221 Regular Slinkys: A Great Idea

Back in the 60s, Mr. Ball noticed how many (beginner) guitarists struggled as they played contemporary, popular strings. The G-string, usually wound back then, was especially difficult to exert pressure on. Ernie figured a thinner string set might actually be easier to play on. He went on to present his idea to a large guitar company but they didn't believe his concept would take off. Fortunately, Ernie managed to convince a different string manufacturer and started selling his own strings out of his very own small-scale store. It wasn't long before Ernie's strings became a great success and bands like The Beach Boys and The Ventures became regulars.
