The 3821 Papa Het's Handwired Strings are the Signature electric guitar strings by James Hetfield, front man of Metallica. They have a .11/.50 scale with a thicker Paradigm core than other Ernie Ball strings, thus ensuring excellent tuning hold and an intense sound, ideal for guitarists who play with great energy

OVERVIEW OF THE 3821 PAPA HET STRINGS BY ERNIE BALL

The new Papa Het's Master Core Hardwired signature string sets have been developed over the past ten years together with James Hetfield of Metallica to best meet his needs. This signature set comes with James' preferred scaling combination (11-50) and uses a thicker Paradigm core core with plasma-enhanced nickel-plated steel wrap. They are ideal for James' aggressive style and technique and offer a more intense sound with greater tuning stability. The Plain strings feature a Paradigm center core with a brass RPS reinforcement at the end of the ball for added strength and tuning/intonation stability. These limited-edition signature sets are enclosed in a sturdy tin box with custom graphics and designs made by James! The tin box is compact and collectible and includes three signature string packs inside
