Regular Slinky wound strings are made from a nickel-plated, steel wire wrapped around a hex-shaped, steel core wire. The plain strings are made of specially tempered, tin-plated, high-carbon steel, producing a well-balanced tone for your guitar.

All Ernie Ball strings are precision manufactured to the highest standards and the most exacting specs to assure consistency, optimum performance, and long life.

Ernie Ball is a pioneer of rock and roll guitar strings. Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, and Slash are among the long list of Slinky players.

The Strings That Play the Concerto of My Life

Mere earthly words cannot describe the intense and everlasting love I have for these strings. It's almost as if these strings can fill the hole in my heart. The sound of these strings can warm even the darkest of hearts, and the resonance can bring a smile to any face. The playability of these dreamy objects is as if I am surfing on a sea of silky smooth whipped cream, while the slow jazz of my guitar plays in the background. To be blunt, I'd marry these strings if that kind of thing was legal in my state.

my experience

| Review By: Jason Tallwood | 7 months, 3 weeks ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

I'm giving the features a 5 for the fact that there is 6 strings in it! yeah that and they're individually packed with the string sizes on them like D'Addario , Dean Markley and so forth.

Quality:

I had the worst experience with these the first time around the high E (a 12) broke when I put it on the first time i put grover tuners on my a guitar and didn't look at these for at least 2-4 years , yet the loyalty some have to these strings is incredible, I've bought way more packs of them but still to be honest they don't stay new sounding as long as the other brands out , they go dead sounding faster to my ears as well as a few friends quicker than most brands that are name brand

Value:

we're paying for what we're getting , these strings are great for harmonics , a very bright sound so if you're playing a maple necked guitar and afraid of those dastardly steel strings like blue steel strings (nothing wrong with regular dean markleys) these are for you. They sound great in other tunings besides standard which is crutial and hold their tuning pretty well on fixed bridge guitars.

Overall:

nice things first, i've never broke one of these strings playing them and I play really fast every string brand will break at the machine heads every now and then so i wont complain about that, sure they die quick and lose newness fast but the bright clean sound you get out of them is worth it, they're cheap , individually wrapped and the only way they can improve is color coding the strings like D'Addario. These I'm moving away from as styles change but trying various sizes of these they havent let me down. We're paying for what we're getting which I've mentioned and if you switch strings every 2 weeks these are for you , I play 3+ hours a day to come up with the every 2 weeks thing but I do recommend these much more than fender super bullets , no name brands like Agile has and Long and Mcquades cheap brands.

DONT BE PICKY!!!

Overall:
I have used many String sets and i always go back to these ERNIE BALLS,because for me they sound great and can be used for different styles.I play mostly Thrash Metal but my Leads are Bluesy cuz thats what i learned off my Dad.So, i need thick power chords and sweet,slightly gritty Lead Runs. These Strings work great.I really hate how"PICKY",(pun intended)people get about strings. Just because you dont like something or your a Die Hard brandfan doesnt mean you should give negative reviews/advice.These strings are prone to breaking,rusting and should be stretched but so is everyother String set out there!! By the way DR strings stretch,rust and break just the same. There is a great technique to stretch the strings by hand just look it up. And,it really helps to wipe your strings down with a cotton cloth or 100% cotton T-Shirt after each use.STOP BEING PICKY AND JUST PLAY!!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THESE TO EVERYONE,IF YOU DONT LIKE'EM DONT USE'EM,JUST REMEMBER PLAYER ERROR USUALLY CAUSES MOST PROBLEMS
