Troy Redfern signs an offical artist deal with Ernie Ball.

UK electric slide guitarist who's quickly gained a reputation as the 'King of Slide Guitar' for his fiercely engaging, raw blues style on his collection of vintage resonator guitars signs an exclusive guitar string deal with the worlds leading string manufacturer.

Troy says 'When I first started playing guitar at age thirteen the very first set of strings I bought were Ernie Ball along with my first electric guitar. All of my guitar heroes were using them, the who's who of the world's leading guitarist, and there's a reason why.

Ernie Ball strings are hands down the best, most consistent, comfortable strings out there. They just feel like home to me, especially after using them for over thirty years. I'm totally honoured to now be endorsed by a company that I've loved for my whole guitar playing career'
