Tried and true!!

Reviewed in the United States on March 11, 2024

Color: Super 9-42Verified Purchase

Used by countless pros all over the world! One of the best values out there for a reputable string used all over the world.

They sound great. Strings always have great tone, bright clarity and solid midrange and works great on just about every style of guitar.

They feel great. Bending strings is comfortable, not noisy and last a long time.

They are consistently great. You can buy these from anywhere around the globe and are very consistent and feel the same year after year. There are some that claim a mountain of new improvements (even Ernie Ball) but at the end of the day, these are some of the best! Had a friend of mine speaking of a new version out there that lasts twice as long only to find out those cost over twice as much; Just buy two packs of these for less and call it day!!

I've tried a lot of strings including most of the new options out there but these are an awesome value, work well, consistent, can find these all over the world, and used by many a well-known guitarist.

also, 9's are a great option for tone even better than 10's in my opinion which I played for decades. Check out some videos online discussing that fact and it might change your mind to 9's. It did mine. Cheers.

These are my favorite strings, unfortunately they don't come with the ability to shred. That takes practice and lots of being awesome. Being awesome is also not included, though you could trick people into thinking you are awesome with these strings.

Very good strings

Reviewed in the United States on May 2, 2024

Color: Super 9-42Verified Purchase

I bought these to use with the Rocksmith game. I noticed that Rocksmith is able to detect the first fret with these strings when the stock strings on two other guitars wouldn’t get the game to detect them. So that’s a very good thing. I also noticed the sound travels really well with these strings. I dont know how to explain it but they sound much better than the stock strings I’ve used. Only thing that sucks is I had a 1011 string break on me as I was installing it onto my guitar.

Color: Regular 10-46Verified Purchase

I was so glad to see Amazon had these in stock and ready for fast shipping because my local guitar shop was out! I tried the Paradigm set of the same gauge and noooo never again. B string broke on day 2. But these Regular Slinkies have been my go to for so many years. I’ve tried many brands and gauges when I was gigging regularly but Ernie Ball’s Regular Slinkies always treat me right.

Great sound, stable as hell for tuning, the right brightness and ease of bending for how I play. Everybody’s style is different but these strings are it for me.
