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.

Some of the BEST guitar strings to be created.

I'm not saying this because i've been loyal to Ernie Ball for 7 or so years, i'm saying this because after trying just about every single guitar string i possibly could, from power slinky's all the way to not even slinky's, these probably gotta be the most versatile and comfortable strings i've used. Yeah, these strings are giant (when i pulled it out of the package i thought it was a bass string), but they also hold a tone so perfectly that it's almost insane how strings this big could do it. Ideal for drop tunings? I'd say these are probably for anything up to and including whole step down. They have perfect tension for whole step down, and they have phenomenal tension at Drop A. Get them, seriously, their worth it.

Great for Baritone Guitar

These are perfect tuned to B Standard on my Gretch 29.75" Jet Baritone, much easier to get along with than their standard Slinky Baritone set and sound just as good.

Dropping to a full fifth (A standard) and double stop bends are as easy as my Les Paul with 10's tuned a half step down.

Highly recommend for extended scale and baritone guitars.

For Those Low Notes

Ernie ball advertises equal tone for all of their products, but I didn't really find that to be the case. I bought the mammoth slinky to tune to B standard, and with the low tension my guitar sounded very flat. Not much low or high end, but a lot of mid. It wasn't a huge problem, as I was able to EQ it out on my rig, and honestly it's a little to be expected considering physics, but a little annoying considering what they advertise.
Nevertheless, works well for that low beefy sound, and I'm happy.

Mammoth Slinky’s are sick!

I will admit I am not a big fan of Ernie Ball strings, but this set absolutely rips in Drop A#. I use them on Mick Thomson signature guitar playing into a 6505+ combo. It's absolutely the best sound I've got. Strings feel balanced and don't lose pitch and tune up perfect intonation. I will be sticking with these strings for this tuning.

Pair with a loose .009 for an excellent 7 string set!

I use these along side a loose .009 for A standard on my 26.5" scale 7 string. Excellent if you like lighter feeling strings. Also a great option for standard B on a 7 or drop A as well. 7 string sets are rather limited, but this set up hit the sweet spot for me.
