Comments about Ernie Ball 2246 Stainless Steel Regular Slinky Electric Guitar Strings:
If you like beefy sounding strings but don't wanna kill your fingers these are the ones for you! They have the sound of the skinny top heavy bottom strings, but are regular gauged! Since they are stainless steel they get a really tight beefy sound. Seems like they need tuning a little more than usual but that is ok. Really smooth feel, almost feel like flat wound strings because of the stainless. Also they give off a little more feedback than normal because stainless is a higher reacting metal with the pickups. Definitely recommend trying them out!
Comments about Ernie Ball 2246 Stainless Steel Regular Slinky Electric Guitar Strings:
It has been a week since i got this strings and everythings has change for the better, I was a little skeptical at first about how it should sound, cause I've never have used this kind of string, I had some preconceptions of the terrible sound stainless steel produce, but i was wrong! It has been one of the greatest things in guitar playing and it was worth it!

Comments about Ernie Ball 2246 Stainless Steel Regular Slinky Electric Guitar Strings:
Their tone is a little bit brighter/more twangy than most strings, so it really depends what you are looking for in your tone. Once you add some distortion and/or effects it's very hard to tell the difference though.
I have an allergy to Nickel and Cobalt so these are some of the only strings I can actually use without my hands breaking out. I also tried Elixir coated strings which work fine for awhile, but it's hard to tell exactly when the coating wears off, so I'd have to change strings constantly if I went with those again.
Comments about Ernie Ball 2246 Stainless Steel Regular Slinky Electric Guitar Strings:
Personally, I don't really care for them. They're supposed to have longer life, but for me it seems like they got cruddy pretty quickly. However, my hands do sweat a lot when I play. Yeah I know, wipe your strings down after you play. I do that. When I first put them on I thought the tone was awesome, but it went away pretty quickly. These also seem to have more tuning issues than my previous strings. Not to mention, they are a bit more costly.

Comments about Ernie Ball 2246 Stainless Steel Regular Slinky Electric Guitar Strings:
My super power is to sweat a lot and kill nickel strings in record time. These stainless steel strings put up much better fight and sound great for much longer.
