Ernie Ball Strings!

Ernie Ball strings have been a top choice for players of all types since the early 1960s, when guitarists came into Ernie Ball's music store, customizing their string gauges to make their axes easier to play. After fruitless attempts to interest major guitar manufacturers in a lighter set of strings, Ernie Ball decided to start making his own. When you open a pack of his strings today, you know you're getting a quality set of strings designed to give you great tone, reliable performance, and long life. You can't go wrong when you string up with Ernie Ball strings!

Ernie Ball's Slinky electric guitar strings are made from nickel-plated steel wire wrapped around a tin-plated hex-shaped steel core wire. The plain strings use a patented winding of bronze wire tightly wrapped around the lock twist of ball end for reduced slippage and breakage, making them slightly bright. They're popular with artists ranging from Keith Richards to John Petrucci. These Mondo Slinky strings are perfect for players looking for beefier low end, while minimizing the difference in tension on the higher strings.

Rated 4.5/5

Great for PRS guitars

while primarily a Strat player i used Ernie Ball Skinny Top, Heavy Bottom (dark orange package) which on a Strat length neck gives great tension when you grab power chords but still allows you to bend the higher strings with ease.
i was a bit lost with my first 2 PRS guitars since their neck length is between that of Strat and Gibson, but after i found these strings the hunt is over. same great tension on the thicker strings but with a shorter length neck the 10.5 e-string and proportioned gauges have made me a fan. if you never could get used to 11s on a PRS then this is the ticket - 10s are usually too flimsy.

great job Ernie Ball! this is why i keep coming back to you!

Intonation Nightmare

I like to play different tensions a lot as they alter my playing style. Love my GHS Gilmours, but these just could not get intonated, no matter what tuning I used. Something seems off. On my Ibanez I have it in Open G with the low E tuned down to C for one finger power chords. The tension felt looser with the .52 that low than the .46 I currently put on to test this. Both Ernie Balls.

I admire them for venturing into new gauges, tho, this one was a miss for me. Wouldn't mind if GHS took some more chances. They have my favorite feel. Second would be the NYXLs. Hope D'Addario does more with them. For now I'll mix and match.

Not so great.

The first 10.5 and second 13.5 strings aren't to bad for sound. The rest and kind of clunky and dead sounding. I wanted to buy a new set of Gibson classics that came with the Les Paul but couldn't find them locally. I wouldn't buy these again.
