Ernie Ball Super Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings 4-Pack, 9-42 Gauge

Great strings and good price.

Put these on my second-hand SG and the difference was night and day. The old ones were dull and rough — these felt smoother straight away and brought the guitar back to life. Brighter sound, better feel, and more comfortable to play. They’re the usual bright silver nickel colour, look clean on the guitar, and have a nice even finish. The 10–46 gauge is just right for standard tuning — not too stiff, not too light — and they’ve held tuning well after a bit of stretching. Easy upgrade. I’ll buy them again.

I am and always will be brand loyal to Ernie Ball. Great strings. They work for both standard and drop-d tunings with enough tension in them to keep off the frets. They didn’t fit in the nut initially but a few runs back and forth on the low end will break down the look. They lasted about 6 days from string to string breakage although I do play a lot and pretty hard but if that’s your concern get some titanium coated or para digm.

Good set of strings for a great price. Compared to other strings from D'addario, Gibson, and Elixer, these strings are a much better value since they are so cheap. However, in all the years that I have been playing, I have not once said, "man this guitar is great, what kind of strings are these?" Great guitars play and sound great, period, given of course that you are using at least decent strings. I know that every guitarist has their go-to strings, as do I (and the brands and styles vary across each of my guitars), but honestly strings are strings. These days, so much attention is paid to the manufacturing of these strings, that the quality and consistency is great across a number of different brands. Generally, I can't tell much of a difference in tone, playability, or "slinky-ness" across brands. (I can hear the groans now) Hear me out though, if I want to change the tone, I will get a different string gauge, and this is the same for slinkyness. In the end, given 5 sets of top notch strings, I will pick the fresh set vs. a worn set 10 times out of 10. Pros: Very cheap for 3 sets of strings, that means you can change more often, which in turn means that these strings will feel and sound better longer I feel like they definitely last longer than say Gibson vintage strings, but most coated, modern strings will be comparable. Cons: None Conclusion: Strings are strings, and given a good set of strings, I would only base this recommendation on price and great value (5 stars for that). If you are just starting out, I recommend you try a number of different strings to find your preference, but usually in a pinch whatever my local shop has on hand has worked just fine

Really nice thick strings. I used them for drop A tuning and they were far better than a set of 9's which were too loose when tuned to drop A. As usual from Earnie Ball the strings feel really nice to play and are excellent quality.

My go to strings, the skinny top, heavy bottoms. Great for c/d standard tuning

Great strings. Very stretchy for those bends. Easy to install

For years, I've played 8s, but I want to move up to 9s in the hope of a slightly thicker sound, so bought these as a stepping stone. They play great. I can feel the difference, but that's good because I didn't know if I would. I play virtually every day, and after two weeks, they still sound as bright as the day I changed them, and they still feel as silky smooth. Terrific strings.

Good

Amazing sound and feel!

OK

Not well balanced in tension. Sad

Ideale snaren voor mij. Spelen perfect en gaan lang mee.
