Ernie BallBurly Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings, 11-52 Gauge (P02226)

What else can I say? Not only are these some of the very best strings, but the value is incredible. The packaging is great (sealed nicely) and the strings are made well. They are a good length, they're labeled for easy and fast installation and they allow my guitar to produce nice and true tones. They feel good to play, too.I also love EB's wide variety of packs, with custom-like gauges. You can find just about any range to suit your tastes. I have guitars strung with a variety of gauges and many are EBs.Just buy these. You can't go wrong.

I’ve experimented with a lot of strings and gauges over the years and I always come back to these, Ernie ball skinny top heavy bottom. The perfect gauge and quality. They have a great well balanced sound and a solid, thick feel but still bend easily without feeling like you’re going to break them. This is my favorite brand and gauge of strings for any electric highly recommend!

The best strings I've ever used. Very strong and slinky. They just sound and work so good on a strat.

Ernie ball strings are the best!!

I started playing the guitar 3 months ago. I bought one that’s suitable for beginners at my local music shop and have been using that ever since. I try to practice whenever I can, usually in the evenings after the kids have had dinner. It can be distracting if they’re being hyper (my 4 & 6 year olds never seem to run out of energy), but it’s the only time I can really play. My fingers would hurt but I thought it was just a matter of having to get used to it. Well that problem never went away so I did some research and found out that it might be due to my strings.I asked my guitar instructor for some recommendations and he told me to get these strings. He also told me about these earplugs which help filter out background noise so I can focus - they actually do seem to help. Anyways I tried to get these strings locally but they didn’t have it at the store that I usually go to so I bought it online from amazon. I don’t have prime membership so it took a few days to get here but I was okay with that since I managed to get it while it was on sale. One pack comes with three sets and I got it for under $15 so I feel like I got a pretty good deal.I’ve never bought any type of guitar string before aside from the ones that came with my instrument so I can’t compare them that well with others but from what I can tell the quality is great. I also noticed on the packaging that it’s made in the USA so that’s always a good sign. It took me a little while to switch the strings but that’s just me being an amateur and has nothing to do with the actual product.Once I put them on, they had a nice balanced sound. There’s a noticeable difference on how they feel compared to the old ones I had. It makes such a big difference when I’m practicing…my fingers don’t hurt nearly as bad. People say that they also produce a better tone and I believe it.The only thing I didn’t like about it was the packaging. The neon yellow color is nice but each set comes in a plastic bag that you have to tear apart. It’s not a zip lock design or anything so you’re kind of forced to use all of the strings at once once you’ve opened them. This wasn’t a problem for me since I was replacing all of mine anyway but I can see how it can be annoying for someone who only wants to replace one. You’d need to find a secure place to put it or something.Overall however I am still happy with my purchase. I was worried that guitar strings would be expensive but fortunately that wasn’t the case and they’re actually pretty affordable. I don’t know how long these ones will last me but if everything is good I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another pack when I have to. Would I recommend them? Yes…but I’m not sure I’m in a position to actually recommend anything yet. There are probably a lot more people out there who know more about these products than me. From my experience so far however, they work great.

Pretty good strings.

My husband plays guitar and these are the strings he prefers. They sound amazing. Getting the pack saves you some money. He has multiple guitars and changes the strings regularly and he won't use another brand. This was the perfect gift for his Easter Basket.

The Ernie Ball Regular Slinky guitar strings are my go-to choice for electric guitar! The 10-46 gauge is just the right balance between ease of play and punchy tone. These strings provide a crisp, bright sound with a smooth feel, making them perfect for both rhythm and lead playing. I’ve been using them for years, and I always get consistent performance. They stay in tune well, and I’ve never had any issues with breakage during regular playing.
