Customer Reviews

Endorsed by none other than Shimmy Pilates
I find no desire to change brands after stringing my telecaster with these beasts. They stay in tune, sound great, and are easy on the fingers. I'll continue to use them until something markedly better comes along and is somehow strung on my instrument without my knowledge.

My favorite strings for electric
These are my favorite strings for electric guitar. I've been using them since I started playing about eighteen years ago. I've tried other strings, like Gibson and D'Addario, but I like the sound and feel of Ernie Balls the best -- they feel nice, full, thick, hefty. I play blues, jazz, and bluesy rock. I use these on a Gibson Les Paul Vintage Mahogany and a Yamaha neck-thru-body electric, and they are good for the music I play and for providing a full-bodied sound. There are a whole host of "big name" guitarists who use these strings, and for good reason. I buy them in 10 packs to save money -- can't seem to find that option here on Amazon.

The BEST Strings... personally.
I've tried all kinds of strings, Rotosound, GHS, Dean Markley... they just muddle the sound and/or make the guitar harder to play due to unwanted string tension... I play an LTD EC1000 with EMG 81+85pups, hands down the best guitar I've ever played, even better than the Gibson SG's I've had (which I still wish I actually had my first one), but even tried different Ernie balls... get these, they're all you need.
