Ernie BallSuper Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings - 9-42 Gauge

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!!!!

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.

The media could not be loaded. I have always played Ernie Ball Super Slinkys so been using them for about 40 plus years now! They just sound great and suit my blues rock style of playing. Their gauge of 9 to 42 strikes the right balance of power and tone with being able to bend them without difficulty. Highly recommended!The video is an open mic night in Lincoln... Jackson guitar with Ernie Balls 9 to 42 through my Spark 2 amp through the pa.

Good sounds

Just got 3 pack… the d string intonation was way off…never had this problem before… sent that back and they gave extra packs right away… excellent service guys… well done

Have used the brand before so knew what i was getting. The thickness of the strings are good so that you don't need to apply lots of pressure to get the correct note. They have a soft feel to them and they allow your fingers to slide easily. They last as long as other strings although differing playing styles might have different results.

Excellent quality and sound, incredible for down tuning and keeping the tension while playing without the strings being to floppy! Made the metal look on my guitar go up another level

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.
