Ernie Ball - Revolutionary guitar accessories!

Ernie Ball is today regarded as one of the greatest revolutionaries when it comes to guitar accessories and strings. Sherwood Roland Ball, as he was actually named, started out as a radio and television musician in the USA and quickly realised that there was a major gap to fill when it came to products for guitar, bass and other stringed instruments. The family business, now in its third generation of the Ball family, has continued to create opportunities and solve problems.
