Wild string bending was nigh on impossible unless you had fingers of steel. Ernie Ball approached Fender at this time to see if they would take on his ideas. He got knocked back. He decided then to go it alone. Ernie Ball strings were then born. They grew in fame with players such as Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck and many more.
