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 Turbo Slinky electric guitar strings deliver a well-balanced feel that sits somewhere between Regular Slinky and Hybrid Slinky strings. Turbo Slinky strings are designed to have similar tension across all strings, for a consistent feel across all strings, and better tonal balance too.

BEST STRINGS EVER FOR STANDARD OR E FLAT!

Gibson or Fender this gauge feels perfect!! 9's too light? 10's to heavy? TRY THESE!!! You will never look back! I really hope in the future they make these in Cobalt and Paradigm versions,and come in larger then 3 packs!

Perfect tention

I've tried every brand and almost every ernieball string. For classic rock in E standard tuning these are perfect. I've always preferred the 10-46 for standard tuning but wished the higher strings had more play for solos and bends. Once I found these I never went back. Perfect amount of tention
Music background: Played in many death metal bands but love classic rock as well

Awesome on my Strat

Was using 10s on both my SG and Strat. The longer scale length on the Strat made them feel like 11s. Harder to bend full steps in some positions. Switched to the Turbo Slinky and now my Strat feels like my SG that has 10s on it. Ernie Ball makes a LOT of these really cool hybrid gauges. Have been using Ernie Balls for over 30 years and will keep doing so.

Great strings!

Just the right size for me right now! I'd been playing .10's Regular Sliky for more than 20 year but as I get old and my hands hurt a little more than they used to - I needed to move to something lighter. But for me, the Hybrid Slinky set was too light - I couldn't control the top 2-3 strings very well and I'd I still knock them out of tune. This Turbo Slinky set is just right for where I'm at right now - - you still get some of the beefier feel of the bottom strings and the top strings are light but just heavy enough for chording and lead work like double/triple-stops; and yet are easier to bend! A great fit - check 'em out!
