 Gnarly strings for a tubular price. August 17, 2004

These are the standard strings I've been using since about 2000. And after going through only 4 pairs since then, I doubt I'll be changing brands. Especially at this price. Just look at that. In just about any store they're up to 3 times as expensive. Don't let the price fool you. Sure, there are some strings around 20 bucks, but that doesn't mean they're better. Ernie Ball is one of (if not, the) top brands when it comes to musical instruments and accessories. The sound quality and tone with these suckers is phenominal. You can bend, whammy, slap and pluck these things as hard as you can, and they won't break. In fact, I've been on the same set of strings since about October 2003 and they're still working like the day I put them in.
There isn't a whole lot to say about strings. I mean, they're what you need to play the guitar and that's about it. These work well, therefore, they're good. Nab a few extra sets of these while they're so cheap.

Take this to heart. I have been playing for 16 years this Christmas. For the first seven years I experimented with different brands and gauges. These were the strings I settled on after all that experimentation and I have never looked back. Slinky 9's are ALL I have bought for the past nine years. There are two types of electric guitar strings: Expensive and cheap. NEVER buy cheap strings. They sound too bright and about one out of twenty will break when you wind them up. Expensive strings are a little more complicated. The durability factor is much better with expensive strings. About one out of eighty will break. The difference between the expensive brands is in the sound. Some are "tinny" or bright. Some sound like bass strings tuned way up. With that said, Ernie Ball Super Slinky 9's have what I call a "V" voicing. It's like they have a little equalizer built in set to a good rock setting. You know, boost the mids and highs and roll back the mids. THESE... are the only strings designed specifically for rock/metal/southern rock/progressive heavier jam bands/etc. Period.
Man... I sound like a commercial. It's because I am passionate about these strings.
Durabilidad!!! January 9, 2007

Siempre compro ERNIE BALL porque son las mas duraderas y las de mayor calidad que he usado.
He probado otro par de marcas pero nada en comparacion con ERNIE BALL!!!
El desgaste de las cuerdas es practicamente nulo; yo practico 15 horas como minimo a la semana, tengo una Jackson K3PRO (Floy R.) y aguantan bastantes libras.
Puedes prolongar el uso de las mismas si empleas mantenimiento con limpiadores de cuerdas, ya que lo unico que he visto que con el tiempo (mas de 6 meses)se oxidan un poco.
Love the Super Slinky strings! May 28, 2008

My experience with guitar started in the 70s with a beat up acoustic my dad handed down to me. I was enthralled with the sounds of the guitar, but hated that giant hunk of junk. In the early 80s I got myself a job, tossed that pile of warped wood, and bought myself a Gibson electric. A friend quickly turned me on to GHS Boomers, which I used exclusively for probably 7-8 years. I had tried several other brands, but for me, the Boomers were the best.
Well, the 90s came around, and my musical taste changed from alt-rock to a heavier sound. My preference transitioned from Gibson guitars through Orange and Mesa/Boogie amps to Jackson guitars through Marshall amps. Due to budgetary constraints, I switched to Carvin strings -- they used to be incredibly affordable -- but "discovered" the Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings when a guitar tech friend of mine restrung one of my super-strats for me, and that was that.
So what do 'Slinkies' do?
1. Bend forever.
2. Quack on a Strat with the best of 'em!
3. NOT break when setting up a Floyd Rose.
4. Last for as long as you can stand rubbing the oxidation off of the higher strings.
Okay, you get the picture. In a nutshell, these are high-quality strings at an affordable price, delivering the best tone out there. Novice or pro; you won't be disappointed.
 They are ok April 20, 2006

They are ok because one of them broke the first day but i think it broke because my guitar was messed up that day when i put them on but other than that they are ok.
