I switched from Dean Markley to regular stinkies and I think it's an improvement in playability. On the packaging there are guitarists who use these strings .Ernie Ball strings are an older brand that's reliable.

Wanted something with a lighter sound. These were perfect. Replaced the strings that came with my guitar and they just sound so much better. They are easy to tune and have stayed in tune since I put them on. What a difference it makes using these higher end strings compared to what are put on in a factory.

I have been using these same strings for years. It suits my style of play - harder guitar instrumental hard rock blues with influences like Satriani, Travis Larson, Shawn Lane, Gary Hoey., Michael Shenker. Feel is perfect, terrific sound/sustain/tone. .09's might not be everyone's cup of tea as they tend to get a little thin but not this brand. Love it.

These are always gonna be I n my personal opinion the greatest guitar string for any electric guitar they have a solid sound last for a good while and boy they can bend, without stretching too, they hold tune for a lo g time as well, worth the purchase, and great for quality sound as well

i have never played on steel strings before. well, not all steel anyway. usually an alloy with some steel in it, but not 100%. that being said, these have their own sound to the typical strings and alloys i have used over the years i have played guitar. they kind of have a more "twangy" sound than the usual strings. i think these are perfect for a guitar with single coils, like a Strat or Tele. it really brings out that "strat/tele" sound even more so. i like these for those two guitars, but for just about anything else, i dont like them for. its all personal preference tho. you might like them for what youre wanting to do that i dont and its okay. if nothing else, these strings are so cheap that its worth at least giving them a try. as i said tho, i recommend them on a single coil only Strat, or single coil only Tele above all others. as of right now anyway. i am still exploring around and trying out as many different strings as i can, to find "the perfect" string sets for my guitars, just so i know what i like the most on which guitar, so i dont have to keep "searching for that sound in my head" more than i already have and going to in the future. lol... so yeah, if you have a single coil only strat or single coil only tele, i recommend giving these a try. you might like them for that purpose as much as i do,

I bought two packs a while back because I liked the idea of stainless steel strings, I used both packs within a week because they kept breaking.

Bought this because my string broke, I highly recommend these as a cheaper alternative to other strings. They sound good, but it has a bit of a rattle on the lower E and A. Are these better than $10-15 strings? No, they are about even. But if you need strings and want to play they get the job done quite well. Infact, I don't see a difference in these with any other more expensive strings on amazon, they play about the same. One issue; these strings seem to get dirty faster. If it wasn't for that it would be 5/5.

Purchased, October 18, 2020.Reviewed, March 6, 2022.It's interesting how I found these Ernie Ball Stainless-Steel Electric Guitar Strings. I was looking for some Elixir Strings because I had them on most of my guitars, or at least used to, they have a protective coating to prevent wear and tear. Unfortunately, I had the misfortune of having too many no#4 and No#1 strings break with this brand. So, I thought I'd search for an alternative, and I found Ernie Ball. First, I bought size 11 stainless steel, was impressed. Then, decided to buy several six-packs size 10-46, and haven't looked back since.Yes, these Ernie Ball strings are stainless steel, which I am impressed with! They don't oxidize and wear-out because of it, and they feel good on my fingers. Yes, they look good on my guitar too (2000 Fender Squier Affinity, my modified to “11” practice guitar). Yes, ever since I installed them, only the first string broke after 8 months of playing. Think about that for a moment, these strings have lasted more than 6 months which, for me, is the average lifetime of my strings. Overall, the majority of the stings have endured 18 months of playing, and they are still going strong, and no other strings have broken since. Now, that's outstanding!I'll bet you're wondering why I said “no” in the title. It is because these strings don't sound as great, when played with a “clean” sound on my amplifier, as opposed to other brand strings. But, I will admit, with a bit of amplifier and effects tweaking I can get them to sound exceptionally well. That begs the question, would I use these strings for a live performance or studio? Yes, I would.
