These are great strings. Heavy, chonky, and sounds great drop-tuned. TL;DR - new strings = setupWord of advice - If you’re planning to use these and usually string 46-9, and tune to E standard, double check your setup. Nut slot depth (you can always take it out, but you can’t add more once cut!), neck relief, and tremolo float.I went from 9s to these and had to adjust the truss, trem, and bridge saddles. Nicknamed my donor guitar ‘the screaming banana’ due to extent of neck bend.Easy adjustments, just keep an eye out for it before writing off these strings.

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.

Great strings. Durable and hold good tuning. Tone sounds great. Multipack is a good deal.

Super Slinkys have been my go-to for the past 7 years. Even though it’s not recommended, I’ve used these for everything from E standard to drop B, and they’ve never let me down. Bright, clear tone that’s perfect for leads or a more melodic rhythm style. I play in an early metalcore/screamo band, so they hold up great for breakdowns, panic chords, and leads. I’ve tried other sets, but these strike the perfect balance for me. Highly recommend!

I've been using E Ball strings for decades and here's my opinion -Versatile Gauge: The mix of lighter and heavier strings is great. It makes playing solos and bending strings easier while still giving a strong sound for chords and rhythm.Good Tone: These strings have a bright and balanced tone that fits different music styles. They make my guitar sound clear and full.Durable: They last a decent amount of time. Even after a lot of playing, they hold up without breaking.Comfortable: The nickel wound strings feel smooth and are easy on the fingers, making long playing sessions more comfortable.If there's one thing that goes with the territory it's the break-in Period. There’s a short time when the strings are new that they go out of tune a bit until they settle in.Overall, the Ernie Ball Hybrid Slinky Nickel Wound Electric Guitar Strings are a solid choice. They’re versatile, comfortable, and sound great. There are a couple of minor downsides, but they don’t take away from the overall quality and performance. I recommend them for anyone looking for a reliable set of guitar strings.

昨今、ドロップチューニングやダウンチューニングと採用されてるバンドもコピー、オリジナル問わず増えてきてるなか各弦のゲージバランスが最も良いです。特にA#ドロップに最適かと。何より値段ですよね。音も満足してこの価格ですから。

Very easy to tune. It's the right size for guitar strings where I want to play a myriad of genre. Very slinky and blendable so it's easy to install. It looks very high quality and the sound is chef's kiss. It has bright treble and mids as well as thumping bass. It's functionality to bend and play so many genres ranks it as the best guitar strings I've bought.
