The loudest, most expressive strings ever created. Provides increased output, frequency response, and strength. M-Steel, short for Maraging Steel, is a superalloy used in high stress applications for the aerospace and defense industries. The wound strings are comprised of a patented Super Cobalt alloy wrapped around a Maraging steel hex core wire, producing a richer and fuller tone with powerful low end response. M-Steel plain strings are comprised of a specially tempered steel for maximum fatigue resistance. A patented winding of steel around the ball end of the plain strings reduces slippage, breakage and stays in tune better than conventional plain strings. Skinny Top Heavy Bottom Slinky Strings are the perfect hybrid set for those who like thick bottom strings without sacrificing the ability to solo on smaller strings. Gauges .010 .013 .017 .030 .042 .052. Part number 2915.

They were a bit overpowering out of the package but seemed to settle in short time. The strings still ring brilliantly and have a ton more life in them. If you chug, you should really try these strings. Metal, Blues, PowerBallad, these strings make it happen. Pricey but long lasting for fewer string changes.

Realmente suenan mas y tienen mas ataque que las cuerdas normales suenan muy muy bien me encantaron tiene una presencia muy buena se ven muy bien tienen un gran sonido mejor sonido que las ernie ball normales las use por 2 meses y las cambie por que iba a tener una presentación pero seguian sonando muy bien aunque se veian ya sucias por que no las limpiaba y sudo mucho de las manos recomiendo limpiarlas para que duren mas y lo mejor de las cuerdas es que tienen la mejor estabilidad de afinación que he tenido no se desafinan nada y obviamente son originales

My husband's favorite strings are Ernie Ball - they are easy to string onto the guitar and are great quality - this is the brand that my husband always gets with three guitars (currently) and years of experience with them

They are more durable then the nickel wound strings. They feel good but have a slightly different sound. That part is subjective. Is it worth the extra cash, prob not unless you really dog the sound change. I've used them a couple times but I'm back to gold old nickel plated strings.

I’ve been sleeping on these for way too long. Normally my go to is D’Addario NYXL or Elixir Nanoweb. Just installed a set on my LTD EX400BD with Seymour Duncan Alpha/Omega pickups and holy crap, they are by far the loudest strings I’ve ever had on a guitar. The acoustic brightness is unlike anything I’ve heard before (and no, it’s not just that they’re new), extremely articulate and punchy when plugged in, almost a chimey ring on clean channels and they definitely bring the heaviness when it’s time to shred. They just feel good on the fingers, the kind of strings that make you want to keep playing. I don’t know what this cobalt and maraging steel voodoo is, but it most definitely works.

I think most people use these for a strong output/metal sound, but they have a pretty bold sound for cleaner playing. Lows are heavy and sustaining, while highs give a very nice and versatile bright sound. They do not bend as effortlessly as other slinkey strings, though - for me this is a good thing, as I often accidentally bend a string by being a ham-fisted noob.My only complaint is that I prefer a string that's easier to slide on. The cobalt winding has a lot of friction that is taking some getting used to.

Look not gonna lie these are hands down some of my favorite strings. They feels and sound great! Perfect for playing that awesome heavy chugs while also being easy on the hands while playing leads! Hands down much more output! But thats where it stops as you’re going to have multiple packs of strings as back ups as these are some of the least durable strings I’ve ever played. Literally everytime I buy them one strings gives out within a month of having them. And for a 12$ price tag, it gets expensive. I wouldn’t mind if they were 5$ but for 12$ It gets ridiculous. If ernie ball sponsored everyone who bought these they’d be epic id never play any other strings but unless you have the money to keep replacing strings, don’t mind restringing the broken strings often, or don’t mind stopping a jam sesh or recording to restring then get them. If not Id rather get the cobalts for the same price and more durability, if you want the variability of the M-steels and output with the cobalts just go one string guage lighter

Let me start off by saying that these aren't normally the kind of strings I'm after. They're more rigid and harder to bend than most other strings, but that comes with the territory of the kind of string you're buying here.First of all, they keep a tune better than most any other kind of string I've ever used of ANY brand, including Slinkys. This was the quickest restring/tune up I've had in a long time, and that's instantly gratifying.Second, the sound of them is fantastic. You can strum your electric guitar unplugged and it already has a relatively cloud, crisp sound. I've played it on a number of different settings, overdriven, clean, with different effects, etc. I didn't notice a lot of difference with heavy effects on, but for distortion, the tone comes through a lot more crisply. I play a lot of hard rock/metal, so that's a win to me.With cleans it was the same idea. Until you put on some really heavy effects, the cleans sounded beautiful and crisp.10/10 would buy this for a guitar where I'm either going to focus on strumming or focus more on the rhythm elements of my genre.

My favorite new strings... well new is relative. I've been using these strings for months and I love them.I've read some reviews about the strings being rough... and I can tell you that 4 of the 5 sets I've used start out rough... for like 10 minutes or less... they seem to sometimes have a rough unfinished coating on them and with a couple minutes of play they are smooth as silk. My first impressions was like... "The reviewers were right"... but I kept fiddling with them on my guitar and all of a sudden they were silky smooth.My first thought was that I got used to them friction... but nope picked up my other guitar and the strings on it felt fine, so went back to the new strings and the were still silky smooth. Probably the smoothest feeling strings I've used and the sound... exactly what I wanted out of my Schecter Hellraiser and my Schecter Blackjack C1-PI could see some people not liking the sound for some types of music... I wanted an aggressive sound to enhance my guitars sound... these did that. But they do not "ruin" my Blackjacks nice bluesy sound either.If you're afraid of the "they're scratchy" reviews test them out for yourself. 1 set is cheap and not a big deal to try out. Just play them for a few minutes not 30 seconds. Or wipe them down... I'm going to try that on my next set and will post a follow up on here about how that works.

チューニングの安定感は コバルトシリーズより 高い… が 硬い(^^;;フロイドローズだと スプリングアンカーを再調整する必要ありですチューニングは安定するものの コバルトに比べ寿命は 短いですね…音の違いは コードでは 各弦の分離が良いようで いつもと違うと感じられます全体的に 音の輪郭が際立つので 音抜けは 少し良くなった気がしますねコバルトに戻すか 悩みどころです(^^;;追記硬さだけが難点ですが それ以外チューニングの安定性と音の分離性で この弦をメインにしばらく使っていこうと思います。フロイドローズのフローティングで 弦単体での チューニングの安定性の高さは やはり特筆ものです。1度しっかりチューニングしたものなら 一月くらい ほっといても そのまま弾いても 狂いがない程です。先のレビューでの、弦の寿命はやはり短いですが、ちゃんとメンテすれば そこそこ持ちます。現在耐久テストで5カ月目に突入しましたが 4弦が一度切れた後は 安定しています。
