Ernie Ball Guitar strings

INTRODUCTION: First off these are guitar strings for electric guitars, acoustic guitars ( that are amplified to become electoacoustics with similar circuitry as electric guitars) But not classical guitars, with Nylon strings :-) As with all products these days, a review on just plain old " Ernie Ball Strings " is very wide and open ! So I will be basing mine on use with the following products only. Nickel ( not the brighter / treble accenting steel ones !!! ) wound electric guitar strings "SUPER SLINKY" ( "9's " / "9-42" ) 9, 11, 16, 24, 32, 42. "REGULAR SLINKY" ( "10's " / "10-46" ) 10, 13 ... more

Ernie Ball seem to be the choice of most professional artists who need quality strings for their guitars. ***Features*** These strings are cheap, fairly long lasting and have good tone. Averaging around £4 it's hard to say no to buying something so good for so little, buy these in bulk and you save more money and get more strings! This gauge of string is pretty much the standard gauge for a standard tuned guitar ( E A D G B E) and they'll serve you well during their stay, do bare in mind that string lifespan varies depending on how often you play, how clean your hands are and whether or not ... more

I have always chosen Ernie Ball strings for the simple reason that they seem to be the most popular, they are usually cheap and they have those lovely day-glo packets (yes I'm that shallow). I have always thought that these were the best strings available through what people have told me and their hefty marketing, so I never before questioned their superiority, accepting them as the best you could buy. I was wrong however. In my narrow-mindedness of never choosing to use another type of guitar strings, I overlooked the problems that these strings have. When you first open the packet, and look ... more

Ernie Ball are probably the most well known manufacturers of guitar strings, walk into any good music shop and you will almost certainly see a few different gauges of Ernie Ball Slinkys. The Ernie Ball Slinky range of guitar stings offer many different gauges, from the standard 9-42 or 10 -46 setups to some extremely bottom heavy 9-54's. If you open up a pack of Ernie Balls there is a list of many famous guitarists who use Ernie Balls. The list is absolutely enormous and features a wide variety of bands who play many different styles of music. I have been using Ernie Balls for a few years now ... more

Ernie Ball strings were the first strings i ever bought. Why? Because those were the only make of strings i knew when i was a kid, coz a friend used them, and he used them coz he knew someone else that used em, and so on. Ernie Ball make good strings dont get me wrong, but there not the best. There are so many different sets out there, and even within brands like ernie ball you may find you like one set, but dislike another. (eg: i would buy a set of Skinny top/Heavy bottom over a set of super slinky). Overall these strings are good, but if you purchase them try experimenting with different ... more

Ernie Ball strings are the only guitar strings in my book. I have played Punk for 8 years and these are the only strings that can take the abuse I give without snapping or sounding like a cat in a microwave. I have tried every other kind of string out there and these totally wipe the fretboad with them. Take my word for it, with all the different gauges E.B. has, there's something for everyone. Give them a chance & you'll agree. They last long, sound great, and NEVER break when you're tuning (i hate it when that happens). Ernie Ball has been around for many years and there IS a reason for that ... more
