Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - 9-42 Gauge

The media could not be loaded. Awesome strings.Always used ernie balls. From their 9s, 10s, 11s to now their paradigms.I got a fresh set on before this show in the clip, check it out, sounds decent!FYI that guitar is a budget hartwood semi acoustic hallow body whammy and it's awesome. Check it out.I get some decent use of these and I'm a heavy player too typically and they're hard to break, I can't remember the one I broke actually before restringing is due!Nice warmth, color, tone, durable, resistant, just overall great brand and great strings. And reasonably priced too.

I have Ernie Ball 10-54s on my Epi 60s Standard Les Paul. I generally prefer light to medium strings (I have a Strat with 9-42s and a Casino with 11-49s), but the thicker gauge in the low end give the Les Paul a huge, warm, dark tone when played clean, while the lighter strings in the top end allow for bends. Once you get the hang of the transition between the D and the G, it feels very natural.If I only played fast rock stuff on this guitar I might use lighter strings overall, but I don’t. And I also play bass, so thick strings don’t bother me.Great strings: great tone, durable and not expensive.

have always and will always use Ernie Ball 10's, very consistent and good value

Good set of strings for a great price. Compared to other strings from D'addario, Gibson, and Elixer, these strings are a much better value since they are so cheap. However, in all the years that I have been playing, I have not once said, "man this guitar is great, what kind of strings are these?" Great guitars play and sound great, period, given of course that you are using at least decent strings. I know that every guitarist has their go-to strings, as do I (and the brands and styles vary across each of my guitars), but honestly strings are strings. These days, so much attention is paid to the manufacturing of these strings, that the quality and consistency is great across a number of different brands. Generally, I can't tell much of a difference in tone, playability, or "slinky-ness" across brands. (I can hear the groans now) Hear me out though, if I want to change the tone, I will get a different string gauge, and this is the same for slinkyness. In the end, given 5 sets of top notch strings, I will pick the fresh set vs. a worn set 10 times out of 10.Pros:Very cheap for 3 sets of strings, that means you can change more often, which in turn means that these strings will feel and sound better longerI feel like they definitely last longer than say Gibson vintage strings, but most coated, modern strings will be comparable.Cons:NoneConclusion:Strings are strings, and given a good set of strings, I would only base this recommendation on price and great value (5 stars for that). If you are just starting out, I recommend you try a number of different strings to find your preference, but usually in a pinch whatever my local shop has on hand has worked just fine

Put these on my second-hand SG and the difference was night and day. The old ones were dull and rough — these felt smoother straight away and brought the guitar back to life. Brighter sound, better feel, and more comfortable to play.They’re the usual bright silver nickel colour, look clean on the guitar, and have a nice even finish. The 10–46 gauge is just right for standard tuning — not too stiff, not too light — and they’ve held tuning well after a bit of stretching.Easy upgrade. I’ll buy them again.

I’ve been using Ernie balls for years.Can’t get a better string and I love the sound when they are fresh. The first week using these on a strat always feels awesome!I use them on everything 10s on my les Paul9s on some strats. And even 8s and 7sGot some 13s on an archtop epiphone.They always sound great. Crisp and clear.Can’t fault Ernie balls at all. I’ve never broken one. People say they do and I’m like whaaaaaa? I play loads of bends in my style of playing and they never break. And when they do it’s alway at the bridge or the nut which means it’s your guitar…I recommend 9s to anyone playing a strat. They are just right for all types of strat style music… funk to hard rock.If you’ve got a les Paul however I recommend 10s to keep the tension up. But if you’re feel adventurous like young billy gibbons get yourself some 7s they are super wild. Especially for gentlemen and ladies who like to bend supremely.Ernie ball pretty much invented wound guitar strings. The other brands are similar. And some people talk about output changes from difrent alloys in the string but slinky’s have always been excellent. If they don’t have enough output for yiu???? Get a new setup or try the Colbalts.Best value and best guitar string there is. With every gauge option under the sun.ROCK ONNNN YEAAAAAAHHH!!!!

Great product the strings are easy to play for any level of guitar player, they are less think than most making playing more intricate parts easier, with a very bright tone with a lot of high end.

Great strings
